A LONG-TAIL boat carrying seven Chinese tourists plus the vessel’s crew members capsized off Krabi today (Feb. 11) but fortunately all were safely rescued by a passing boat, Amarin TV said.
The accident occurred near Koh Lao Lading island, around 300 metres from Koh Hong with the two islands being part of Krabi’s Than Bok Khorani National Park.
The long-tail boat capsized after being hit by high waves with the tourists and crew members struggling to stay afloat in the middle of the sea.
Luckily Narayana Marine boat carrying Russian and Ukrainian tourists from Phuket passed by and rescued all of them.
