10 Russian Tourists rescued by the Navy after their Yacht takes on water off the coast of Sattahip.

A “mayday” alert was received by Royal Thai navy Coastguards in the early hours of Friday Morning from a Yacht containing 10 Russian Tourists who were taking part in a fishing trip around Lin Island off the coast of Sattahip. The boat was apparently taking on water fast. A Navy Rescue Boat was scrambled to the location and quickly located the vessel. Despite the group waiting nearly 2 hours to be rescued, all of the Russian Tourists were unharmed and taken to Sattahip Police Station to make a Police Report concerning the incident. At this time it is thought the boat hit a rock located just under the water. A full investigation is now underway by the Royal Thai Navy in conjunction with Sattahip Police.

I wonder if they will get a refund of their hire fee?

Or a bill for unexpected entertainment?

They were lucky they weren't boarded by pirates. Once the BIB get a rescue boat, watch out.
