According to local media such as the Bangkok Post, a lightning accident occurred at the Legacy Golf Club located on the Panya Indra Road in Clongsam and Gu District, Bangkok, at around 5:30 p.m. on the 18th.
At that time, four golfers and four caddies (hosts) were continuing to play in the heavy rain, and a 37-year-old caddie collapsed when a lightning strike fell on the 17th hole.
The paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital, but she died.
Video at the time of the rescue showed her being taken to an ambulance on a stretcher amid pouring rain.
Articles of condolence and messages of condolence followed online.
One fellow caddy said "If the golfer doesn't stop, we can't stop either. Even if it rains, you walk, and when lightning strikes, you only lower yourself. For safety, it is best to stop the game immediately when it rains.
Police are expected to conduct further investigations.
