Phuket - Two missing foreigners and a kayak have been reportedly found safe after being rescued by a boat captain.

 

The Phuket Tourist Police told the Phuket Express that on Friday (March 10th) a tour boat captain, Mr. Wittaya Ngankeng, found the two foreigners alive and floating in the sea hanging onto the kayak near the Rang Yai Island in Koh Kaew.

 

The kayak did not capsize but there was some water inside. The two foreigners were unable to stay in the kayak.

 

The boat captain rescued the two foreigners and brought the kayak back to land at 4:50 P.M Friday. The two foreigners left the kayak with a security guard nearby. They said they would be back in ten minutes to take the kayak, however, they did not return.

I wonder if the Kayak  was damaged and how much the rental 'late fee' will be?

At least the Kayak was found safe and well,  and the two foreigners reportedly ok it seems.
