After their vessel broke completely of its anchor and floated away, four French fishermen were rescued on Thursday from a stranded boat off Chon Buri immediately.
At 8am on Wednesday, the men boarded a occupied ship at Jomtien Beach to Koh Manwichai. No one aboard the ship was seen floating in the water off Koh Sichang on Thursday.
A Twitter user named Tai Ek posted a picture of a boat with the concept:” Friends, please support communicate. This vessel left Na Jomtien Beach on May 1 at around 7 to 8 a.m. and has not yet made a return trip. Four individuals who were on the ship could not be reached. People who finds them, politely please call me”.
The bare boat was later discovered 11 nautical miles offshore Koh Sichang in Chon Buri’s Sri Racha region, lying in the water. Tourist officers and rescue workers were immediately called upon to start a search.
