PHUKET: Life jackets kept four fishermen alive and well in the sea until they were found by a Royal Thai Navy search team just before midday today (June 12).

 

The fishermen, all in the one longtail boat, were thrown into the sea by a storm some 1.5 miles southwest of Koh Maithon at about 3am.

 

The four – Abi Wareesri, Preechaprakon Hapsup, Witoon Mahawannasri and Nikorn Faipet – were fishing alongside two other men in another longtail boat after setting out on a fishing trip, departing from Ao Makham, yesterday.

They seem amazed that a life jacket actually works.....wonder if they'll ever think of seatbelts in the same way?
