Rescue teams rushed to assist a 66-year-old French tourist who suffered an accident while diving near the Similan Islands in Thailand’s Phang Nga Province. The incident occurred around 13:30 on November 1 at Ao Khon Khae, near Koh Bangu within Similan Islands National Park.

 

Authorities from the Phang Nga Maritime Security Center received a report from the Naval Security Unit on Similan Island. The diver, identified as Mr. Raspado Francis, was part of a tour organised by a local boat company when he encountered difficulties underwater.

 

Upon arrival, park medical staff and the Naval Security team administered first aid. Mr. Francis remained conscious, responding to verbal cues, but exhibited symptoms including coughing and blood-tinged mucus. Park officials quickly transported him to the mainland via a national park speedboat.

 

Additional support awaited at Thap Lamu Pier, where the Phang Nga Maritime Security Centre and local officials coordinated a transfer to Khao Lak Medical Centre for further care. The speedboat reached the pier at 14:20 and Mr. Francis was promptly taken for medical evaluation.

 

Reports confirm that Mr. Francis’s condition is stable and he remains under medical supervision.
