A Briton who had been lost in the wilderness for 3 days has been rescued in Si Saket Province.
The police were alerted when local fishermen in the Moon River reported of hearing cries for help in English in the direction of Tarm Forest, on the bank of the river.
The rescue team later found Mr. Alex Walton, 60, lying unconscious on the ground. He was shirtless and full of mosquito bites marks when he was found, the police added.
Mr. Walton was sent to Rasi Salai Hospital for medical check-up. His condition is reported to be stable, but the doctors said they would keep him in the hospital for few more days in order to ensure he did had not been infected by any disease in the woods.
The police also found a car owned by Mr. Walton 3-4 kilometres away from the forest. The car is registered in Kalasin Province. His wife later contacted the police to inform them that Mr. Walton had been missing since 14 September and his neighbours have been looking for him ever since.
Mr. Walton′s wife said he had a mental disability and tends to "black out" when he is stressed. "Sometimes he does things without being aware of it," his wife said.
