The Port-in-Port-out (PIPO) authorities in Phuket rescued two Thai men after their fishing boat capsized yesterday. Regrettably, two fishermen lost their lives in this tragic incident.

 

The authorities were notified that a red fibreglass boat named Baan Kung Mang Korn capsized near an island called Koh Aeo in the Mueang district of Phuket due to powerful waves. There were four locals on the boat, two local fishermen survived and managed to swim back to the coast while two others went missing in the sea.

 

The boat reportedly departed from Palai Beach in the morning and ended up in trouble in the afternoon.


The authorities launched a search and rescue operation for the missing locals. They managed to locate and rescue two men, identified as 45 year old Rojjanasak Suethom and 46 year old Arbedeen Thummalee. Both men were exhausted after struggling to stay afloat and were transported to Vachira Phuket Hospital.
