In an unforeseen turn of events earlier this morning, a sailing yacht near Ao Yon in the northern part of Chalong Bay, Phuket, was reported to have been forced onto the shore due to wave action. The yacht is understood to have been detached from its mooring and was seen adrift prior to being swept ashore.

 

This unexpected incident occurred as members of the Phuket Yacht Club Community and Phuket Cruising Yacht Club, two respected Facebook groups for the Phuket sailing community, shared the news about the yacht’s location being “at the North end of Khao Khad beach” at approximately 8am.

 

However, information regarding the yacht’s ownership public wasn’t available at the time of report, The Phuket News reported.

 

A significant contributing factor to the yacht’s mooring slip-off lies in the severe weather conditions currently being experienced in Phuket. The Southern Western Meteorological Centre (Phuket Met), based close to Phuket International Airport, issued a reiteration of its weather warning for Phuket and the surrounding provinces today at 5am.
