Upon arrival, medics provided first aid to the injured teen — however, he seemed to be more concerned about his shoes.
As the rescue team prepared to transport Aof to the hospital, he shouted, asking medics to find his shoes.
The teen — who is a student on an internship in Rayong — shared that they were a precious gift from his girlfriend, reports Thai news outlet Komchadluek.
One staff member advised him to focus on his well-being, but Aof insisted they find the shoes before taking him to the hospital.
At his stubborn insistence, the medics successfully located his shoes and conveyed him to the hospital.
Aof’s injuries are reportedly not serious. According to local news outlets, the police have also collected evidence to move forward with a legal case.
