Three Sriracha anglers were drenched, but otherwise
unhurt, when their hired fishing boat sank off Pattaya’s Near Islands.
Marine rescuers pulled tourists Sombat Un-nao, 36, Punya
Suthawit, 32, and Sukrit Phaksuan, 34, out of Pattaya Bay around 10:30 Dec.
10.
The men said they’d hired the boat to do some overnight
fishing, but high waves whipped up by strong winds began swamping the small
boat, causing it to slowly sink.
Punya said he realized what was happening and calmly
called rescue officials, who arrived with three boats to save the men, but
it was too late for the boat.
