The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team was called out to Jomtien Beach Road to assist in an accident that had occurred on the beach.  There, 53 year old Surapong, a refuse collector, was given first aid to his head after a tree branch fell on him during a strong wind in the area.  The tramp, who was in a drunken state, refused to go to hospital and so started wandering the area again to collect garbage to sell for his favourite tipple, Thai whiskey.
