Hero Scots 'merman' saves tourist from drowning in Thailand
02.09.2023 - 04:15 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A heroic Scottish swimmer known as “The Merman” rescued a Spaniard drowning on a beach in Thailand.
Scott Siranat, a dual nationality Thai-Scottish conservationist, was on patrol with marine officers when he spotted the tourist flailing off Koh Hong island in Krabi province on August 29. The 25-year-old did not hesitate to plunge into the water and paddled his way towards the drowning man.
He grabbed the gasping holidaymaker and dragged him back to the safety of the shore.
Speaking in a video, Scott revealed that he was out with staff from the Than Bok Khorani National Park when he noticed a group of six tourists wading into the sea some 50 metres off the beach.
However, one appeared to be having trouble staying afloat.
The hero swimmer said: “I swam over to help him, and he grasped my shoulder as if he was asking for help. I saw that his snorkel was filling up with water, so I took it off and pulled him back to the coast.
“It was good that we saw him right away. Any later and he could have suffered a far worse fate.”
The Spanish tourist was treated by local medics and has now recovered. Experienced swimmer Scott earned the moniker “The Merman” in April when he set a new record, by becoming the youngest person in Asia to swim unassisted for 50 kms.
He swam across Krabi, Phang Nga, and Phuket provinces in southern Thailand to promote sea conservation. And last year, Siranat, who has a Thai mother and a Scottish father, set off from Ao Nang beach at 10am and arrived back at Ao Nang at 4.30pm.
A journey of about 30 kms on the map but is further in reality as he swam through strong, fast-flowing currents. Siranat studied in America and missed swimming in Thailand’s waters.
He said he especially loves Thailand’s Andaman coast. For the
