Missing speed boat with tourists return safely to shore this morning

A speed boat with 31 tourists and crews, earlier reported to go missing on its return from Koh Tachai island to Phang Nga shore, returned safely to shore this morning.

Managing director of Love Island Co, service provider of the speed boat, said the speed boat returned safely on shore at 10.00 am today after spending one night on Koh Surin.

He said the speed boat left Koh Tachai at 4.00pm Monday with the tourists but while in the sea it encountered high waves and strong winds.

The boat captain realising of the danger if continued to sail under the rough sea, decided to return to shore.

He sailed the boat safely to Koh Surin where all tourists were facilitated to stay overnight at the Surin marine park accommodations.

The speed boat returned safely to shore at 10.00 am Tuesday, he said.
