The 2018 Charity Chon Buri marathon sparked widespread criticism due to a severe and dangerous lack of drinking water for participants.
Runners endured extreme thirst, resorting to desperate measures like sipping water from melting ice or receiving water from construction workers, causing many to abandon the race.
One full marathon participant, Poon Kub, was hospitalized in the ICU with kidney issues after suffering severe dehydration and cramps during the event.
Organizers apologized for the poor management, citing an unexpected number of runners, but also suggested they aimed to save more money for the hospital donation.
