PHUKET:-- Officials at the Disaster Command Centre confirmed to The Phuket News today that Navy vessels and other boats are still searching for two fishermen who disappeared in the same storm that sank the Phoenix and Serenata tour boats last Thursday (July 5).

 

Prawit Salee, 59, and his friend Sakda Naoprai, both villagers from Baan Bang Kontee in Rawai, put to sea in a longtail boat to catch fish between east of Koh Racha Yai, south of Phuket, that fateful day – but failed to return.

 

Unable to contact Mr Prawit and Mr Sakda, concerned friends and relatives launched their own search by boats.

The boat has been found, about 500 meters off of Bay 2 in Racha Yai. yesterday they were looking underneath the boat, but no victims there. If they're underwater in that area I guess it is about 50 meters deep, and they could and probably have drifted.
