RESCUE teams at two southern tourist islands, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, rescued a young foreign couple and another male tourist lost in the hilly forests last night, Naewna newspaper said this morning (August 11).

 

Tourist police at Koh Phangan were alerted via the hotline number 1155 that a young foreign couple, Mr. Jaime Labaig Nunez, 25, from Spain, and Ms. Darya Pankova, 22, from Belarus, were lost in the forested Thong Nai Pan hills and sent a team of Tourist and local policemen accompanied by Than Sadet National Park officials and rescuers to search for them.

 

The team was able to reach them via WhatApp messaging service but it was difficult to find them in the dark hilly area. After searching a five-kilometre zone they finally located the two of them at 10.20 p.m.

Straying off the beaten track late evening is not the best made plan.
