Tourist Boat Capsizes Near Koh Phangan; One Korean National Missing

A long-tail boat capsized off Koh Phangan on December 29, leaving one Korean national, Hyunjin, missing and 13 passengers stranded. Despite rescue efforts, Hyunjin remains unaccounted for, while other passengers, including nationals from Turkey, Japan, and Germany, were saved. The boat capsized near Haad Rin Bay after being struck by massive waves. Investigations revealed serious safety violations: the captain, Patthanapong Saetiew, tested positive for methamphetamine, lacked valid maritime certificates, and failed to provide life jackets. The vessel, improperly registered and non-compliant with safety standards, faces scrutiny under Thai maritime laws. Authorities are continuing rescue and legal actions.
