At 31 I'd guess he's another Phuket rip-tide victim; don't know the details of this particular case but alcohol, night swimming, and rip tide, would be, potentiallly, a pretty lethal combination. Tourists need to realise that many of the Phuket beaches just aren't safe, even during the daytime, let alone at night.
