Pattaya/Koh Larn-A young Thai woman was killed and an unidentified foreign man was missing after apparently being struck by a speedboat while swimming off of Koh Larn last night, September 25th, 2023 at sunset.


The tragic incident took place around 4:00 P.M. off of Tian Beach on Koh Larn. Witnesses stated a young Thai woman and a foreign man went swimming together when a speedboat seemingly delivering tourists nearby allegedly went into the swimming area and struck at least the woman. The boat reportedly paused briefly after striking the couple and then sped away.

 

The woman was later found floating deceased in the water off of Koh Larn and had signs of propeller marks from a boat across her body. She was later identified but her name has been withheld by The Pattaya News pending contact to her family and friends.

 

As of press time, the unidentified foreign man remained missing with divers searching the area.

You'd think you'd be safe in a swimming zone, not in Thailand

We don't know for certain where they were swimming yet. There will be an investigation.  Judging by the picture, thats a huge swimming area. How are the boats supposed to come into shore? Theres probably more to it than some boat going over the ropes and into the swimming area and hitting swimmers. But that doesn't make it a good black and white story with good guys and bad guys.

Thai explaination, probably: "It was their Karma."

 

Great! I'll use that one when asked why I don't give a single baht to the numerous beggars who accost me (yes, accost, as I don't see them shaking their cups at the sea of their own countrymen). It was their Karma to become a beggar, better to not interfere with destiny. 

 

Did you miss your medication today..........?  ????
