A Saudi Arabian couple was carefully saved after their Jet Ski capsized a few kilometers from Jomtien Beach.

Alamri Abdulrahman Mahdi, 26, swam to Jomtien beach at 12.36am on Saturday and was informed of the affair. The sluggish man, who was wearing a life coat, requested assistance from the visitors for his wife, who was using their occupied Jet Ski aircraft to sail abroad.

Mr. Mahdi claimed that the Jet Ski had been rented for an hour on Friday night, but it sank abroad. After about five hours of flotation, he finally made the decision to head to the beach and seek assistance.

Alamri Atheer Saeed, a member of the rescue crew, was later discovered floating about two kilometers away from Jomtien beach. The girl, who was trembling and exhausted, was able to survive without a life jacket.

The pair embraced each other at their seaside reunion, and tourists and locals yelled out violently.
