In it he wrote: "I got into an extremely bad situation and was stuck in a high waterfall. Without the rescue forces of the Da Nang City Police, I would not have been able to cope with the situation. I want to express my great gratitude to the rescue forces. You did your job very promptly and professionally."
On Sunday afternoon the 31-year-old tried to climb down the 10-meter-high waterfall that cascades off the Mo Khe Ram Stream in Hoa Vang District while experiencing adventurous activities there.
He was stuck in the middle, forcing him to cling to a rock halfway down.
After receiving information from locals, rescue forces traversed more than a kilometer of forest roads with dangerous rocky slopes.
