PHUKET: -- A 30-year-old man from Buriram is feared dead after reportedly being swept out to sea by huge waves last night while scouring an outcropping last night at Nai Thon Beach for crabs.

Authorities learned of the man’s disappearance at 8.05pm from a Udon Thani woman, 30-year-old Sompong Noynat and a mute man, 24-year-old Arthit Sansuk.

When police arrived to Nai Thon Beach, they found Ms Sompong crying and surrounded by a group of about 10 onlookers, along with Mr Arthit, who had various scrapes on his body and face.

Sompong said that the missing man was 30-year-old Vichit Sophon, her boyfriend of the last month. She reported that she, Vichit and Arthit had come to relax and eat on the rocks at the far end of Nai Thon Beach at about 5pm.

She reported that by about 7.45pm, Vichit and Arthit had gone down to catch crabs on the rocks below, but that by about 8pm Arthit had returned alone, relaying through sign language that Vichit had been swept out to sea and drowned.

Let us hope that when (not if) tragedy affects you that some clown is available to mock and make uncouth ignorant comment about the event.
