The Royal Thai Navy has built a new home for a Sattahip-based marine who
lost both legs when a bomb went off during a patrol in Thailand’s
restive south.
Vice Adm. Sonthaya Noichaya presented the three-bedroom, two-bath home
in Nakhon Ratchasima to Sommai Seemaung, mother of Petty Officer 1st
Class Suthin Seemuang, Jan. 24 in the Central Thailand city.
A member of the Marine Transportation Corps, Suthin was on patrol in
Narathiwat Sept. 5, investigating offensive graffiti on a road sign when
a bomb exploded, injuring him and three others. Suthin suffered a double
amputation and continuously needs additional treatment in a Bangkok
hospital.
Top navy officials commended the sailor for his bravery, awarding him
690,000 baht for a new home and ordering servicemen to build the house
on a 98-sq. meter parcel within 90 days.
Suthin thanked the navy for their concern and help, saying even with his
disability, he wants to continue to service his country.
