More bad news I’m afraid. On Sunday night, dive boat from Dive Asia named Choke Somboon sank 22km from Phuket, while on the way back from the Similans. Fishing boats rescued 23 people, but two Australians, two Swiss, one German, one Japanese and one Thai were reported missing.
There’s more here.
A separate report says that the boat was MV Dive Asia 1, and that it was sunk by a squall that came up without warning. It lists the missing as: Jetzinger Gabrielle, Germany; Yuba Hirotsuga, Japan; Klaus Konradder, Austria; Monika Schuster, Austria; Sibylle Bucher, Switzerland, Rolf Niederberge, Switzerland; Jumpa Sorntat, Thailand.
Meanwhile News 24 are reporting that the body of a woman has been found.
