Saudi Tourist Found Dead Near Phuket Beach; Jet-Ski Operator Still Missing

A 22-year-old Saudi tourist, Dhaher Suhayb Mohammed S, was found dead near Layan Beach on July 28, two days after being swept away by strong currents while swimming at Bang Tao Beach. He had been vacationing with friends when the incident occurred. Lifeguards located his body early morning; police have informed the Saudi Embassy. Dhaher disappeared after being swept to sea while swimming with friends at Bang Tao Beach. He was visiting with three other Saudi nationals.

According to Cherng Talay Police, the group entered the water around 4pm, but struggled against strong currents. Locals helped rescue two men, but Dhaher remained missing. The police were alerted at 5.30pm, launching a search that continued over several days, hindered by challenging surf and tides.

Meanwhile, a separate search is ongoing for 22-year-old jet-ski operator Chetthawut Hom, who fell into the sea without a life jacket near Naka Yai Island on July 27. Authorities urge beachgoers to be extra cautious during the monsoon season.
