Five Cambodian fishermen died at sea from an undetermined illness, while 20 more are currently hospitalised in Thailand’s Ranong Provincial Hospital, officials at the Cambodian Embassy in Thailand said yesterday. Lamatin Cheam, the counsellor in charge of Cambodian labour at the embassy in Bangkok, said in an interview yesterday that the five deceased were part of a crew of 25 Cambodians and six Thai nationals, and had been fishing in the Indian Ocean since April.

According to Cheam, two Cambodian fishermen died on December 27, prompting the crew to return to Thailand. But while en route, three more Cambodians and one Thai crew member died under similar circumstances, the last death occurring just one day before the group reached port on January 14. “We do not know the exact reason why they died, but the Thai [police] report to Cambodia’s embassy is that they were sick, lacking in Vitamin B,” he said.
