Singapore drowns in Phuket waves
Phuket (TNA) - A Singaporean tourist who ignored high-wave warnings drowned while he and a friend were swimming in the Andaman sea at Phuket's Patong beach.
Chua Holk Beng, 34, was found dead while his friend, identified as Edwardgos Tingtos, 34, was rescued by a beach guard and is now recovering in hospital.
Both tourists arrived in Phuket for a seminar on tourism and stayed at a hotel near Patong beach.
Red warning flags have been placed on a number of Phuket beaches including Patong beach banning swimming for the safety of tourists due to high waves induced by southwest monsoon, now prevailing in the Andaman.
Red flags also were placed on Kamala beach, Karon beach, and Kata beach on Phuket to ban swimming for the safety of tourists.
