Accident Malaysian Tourist Rescued from Drowning at Karon Beach

A 31-year-old Malaysian tourist was rescued from drowning at Karon Beach on the evening 12 July, thanks to the quick response of lifeguards, fellow beachgoers and rescue volunteers. The man was pulled unconscious from the sea but was successfully resuscitated before being rushed to Chalong Hospital, where he is now in a stable condition. According to the lifeguard on duty, the incident occurred after the man and a female companion entered the sea in an area clearly marked with red flags, indicating hazardous swimming conditions. Despite whistle warnings from lifeguards, the pair continued into the water. Within 10 minutes, powerful waves swept both tourists away. Lifeguards acted immediately, rescuing the woman first. The man later resurfaced unconscious. Onlookers initiated CPR until rescue personnel arrived and took over. The rescue team has reiterated warnings about dangerous sea conditions, highlighting the presence of strong winds and large waves along Phuket’s coastline. Tourists are urged to strictly follow all safety signage and avoid swimming in restricted zones. This latest incident comes less than a month after a similar tragedy at the same beach. On 20 June, a 48-year-old Russian man drowned after defying red flag warnings and entering the surf. He died in front of his wife and child, leaving onlookers traumatised. Authorities continue to stress the importance of beach safety and respecting lifeguard instructions during rainy season. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-14 -

Crime Fake Electricity Official Arrested for Scamming Foreign Residents on Koh Samui
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A former subcontractor hired to cut off electricity supplies has been arrested on Koh Samui for impersonating a Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) official and scamming foreign residents out of claimed unpaid electricity fees. Pol Col Denduang Thongsrisuk, Superintendent of Bo Phut Police Station, confirmed the arrest of 37-year-old Mr Karnnithi, originally from Nakhon Sawan, who had been residing with his family in Moo 3, Ang Thong subdistrict, Koh Samui district, Surat Thani province. The case emerged after Mr Dmitry Sotnik, a Russian businessman, filed a complaint on 11 July stating that a Thai man claiming to be from the PEA visited his home on 2 July. The man told Mr Sotnik that his electricity would be disconnected due to two months of unpaid bills. Believing the claim to be legitimate, Mr Sotnik transferred 26,000 baht to the man, who promised to submit the payment the following day. However, after checking with the local electricity office, Mr Sotnik discovered that the bill remained unpaid and was unable to contact the impostor, prompting him to report the incident to police. Following the complaint, an investigation led by Pol Lt Col Pannumas Chukuea and Pol Sub Lt Wasan Sampawaphon identified Mr Karnnithi as the suspect. Officers tracked him down and recovered the motorcycle and clothing he used during the crime. During questioning, Mr Karnnithi confessed to the scam. He admitted targeting foreign residents by checking for unpaid electricity bills often posted near utility poles or in front of houses. Once he found a outstanding bill, he would approach the resident posing as a PEA officer and threaten disconnection unless immediate payment was made. He then had the victims transfer the money directly to his personal bank account. He also confessed to having worked previously as a contract worker for a private company tasked with disconnecting electricity on behalf of the PEA, giving him enough knowledge to convincingly impersonate an official. Police believe he has committed similar offences multiple times in the Koh Samui area. In addition, police said Mr Karnnithi tested positive for methamphetamine use. He now faces charges of “fraud by impersonating another person” and “illegal use of a Category 1 narcotic (methamphetamine),” and is being held at Bo Phut Police Station for further legal proceedings.
