webfact Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Bt100,000 offered as search continues for Chinese tourist presumed drowned By The Nation Tourism service operators in Phang Nga are offering Bt100,000 for information on the whereabouts of a Chinese women swept into the sea 10 days ago. The expectation is that the woman’s body will be located at some point. Local officials and residents and members of the Navy based in Phang Nga base were on Monday still searching for Yang Juan, 27, who was swept into the sea by a large wave along with four other Chinese tourists. The others made it safely back to shore. The incident occurred on the beach in front of the Dusit Hotspring Beach and Spa Hotel on February 23 at 6pm. Yang’s family has arrived in Phang Nga as the search continues. Sayan Kijmano, head of disaster mitigation on the island, said the search had involved planes, drones and boats and extended well into the sea. At one point a body had been spotted floating on the surface 15 kilometres from Phuket’s Patong Beach, but searchers found nothing, Sayan said. He said helicopters from the Third Naval Area in Phuket would track sea currents as the operation continues.

sawadee1947 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 In another website I read that the Chinese just had arrived in the hotel and the first thing was swimming (or try to). What a horrible beginning and end at the same time of expecting holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
