PHUKET: According to police, two American tourists drowned and a third was successfully rescued after being swept out to sea by the rough waves later on Tuesday night.
In the past five weeks, four travellers have drowned in the lakes off Phuket as a result of their deaths.
Despite the red flags posted along the beach that indicated hard water conditions, the three men reportedly went swimming on Tuesday night close to the Naga monument on Karon beach.
The various two gentlemen were declared dead at the Patong and Chalong institutions after being discovered, but one of the men was saved by lifeguards.
The American embassy promised to inform their family members.
