Australian tourist drowns in Koh Samui

On Saturday an Australian tourist died while swimming in high tide at Chaweng Beach Koh Samui. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Australia says they have received official notification from Thai authorities according to a statement made by a department spokesperson. Further details are yet to be released out of respect for the man’s family. Thai police say that they were no swimming signs and red flags along the beach that claimed the life of a Chinese tourist some days earlier. Authorities say that tourists must heed the warnings and signs as even though the beach looks calm from the shore it is easy to fall into deep water.
