The tide is high, but they’re holding on

They had to be rescued and brought back to shore, but they did manage to hold onto their shells.

Three Thai tourists who wandered too far off shore during low tide had to be rescued after the tide came back in, leaving them bobbing in the sea.
Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan and Pattaya marine rescuers hauled in Rayong tourists Kritsada Khumkaew, 25; Suphachai Khapu, 23; and Thoarat Khapu, 22, from Krathinglai Beach July 14. A fourth tourist managed to swim to shore himself.
Kritsada said the four friends had trekked about a kilometer off shore then didn’t realize how fast the water would return. All but one were unable to swim the distance to shore.
