A ferry packed with tourists returning from a day-trip to the
popular island of Larn, 10 km off shore from Pattaya, sank in open
sea, Sunday, killing six people.
Police Colonel, Suwan Cheawnavinthavat, said at least six people
including three foreign passengers drowned, and 16 were seriously
injured after the overcrowded tourist ferry capsized just minutes after
it had left the sheltered waters of Larn Island.
The double-decker ferry capsized after suffering engine problems.
Within minutes other ferries in the area rushed to the scene to rescue
209 passengers.
