SURAT THANI, Nov 24 (TNA) – Local officials on Koh Tao off the coast of Thailand's southern province of Surat Thani today rushed to the assistance of over 3,000 tourists stranded on the island by heavy seas.

The last batch of tourists was shipped off the island this afternoon in a boat with a capacity of 200.

High waves of up to five metres mean that the small vessels normally used to transport tourists to and from the island have been forced to remain on shore. (TNA)--E006
