Following a jet ski crash off the coast of Pattaya, a Saudi Arabian girl was saved after five days at sea.
A woman reported falling from her jet skiing in the Bang Lamung city of Chon Buri early on Saturday, prompting the dispatch of Pattaya City Sea Rescue.
Her father, a 26-year-old Royal man, was found fatigued on the 3.5-kilometre-long shore pleading for help. Beachgoers who spotted him wearing a life jacket and in grief discovered him.
The man informed volunteers that the jet ski they were using had capsized and that he and his family had been floating for more than five days before making the decision to swim for shore.
The jet skiing hire company’s owner claimed the pair had taken the lease for an hour-long period when questioned by the police. After the pair failed to return, hire staff were dispatched, but they were able to locate them.
The store contacted the authorities after learning of the boy’s appearance on sea and posted a message asking for more information about the couple.
The girl, who was two kilometers from the beach and had a cold and extreme exhaustion, was discovered by firefighters about two kilometers away. She was protected by her living suit, keeping her upright.
The couple shortly arrived on the beach to the applause of gathered residents and visitors.
