KARABI: Two Taiwanese tourists and a Thai person were both carefully saved after their motorboat capsized in Ao Nang sea in the Muang area on Sunday night in Ao Nang sea due to the Thai man’s storm and his waves.

Around 11am, people on a boat belonging to Narayana Marine Co were able to save a Chinese gentleman, a Chinese lady, and a Thai boat vehicle from the incident that occurred near Phi Phi Le isle in tambon Ao Nang.

People on the” Varit,” a boat, jumped into the water and managed to rescue the three victims who were clinging to the wrecked ship during the storm. The three were therefore carefully transported by wire to the boat.

At the time, Krabi and the adjacent Phuket were sweltered by the ocean. Four Thai teenagers ignored the warning from the lifeguards and red flags on Saturday night to avoid swimming off Surin shore in Phuket’s Thalang area.

One girl disappeared as a result of waves sweeping them out of the water. Three people were saved by lifeguards, but one of them was unconscious and eventually found dead at Thalang Hospital.
