A young Thai woman was killed and a foreign man was missing after apparently being struck by a speedboat while swimming off of Koh Larn last night at sunset.
The tragic incident took place around 4:00 P.M. off of Tian Beach on Koh Larn. Witnesses stated a young Thai woman and a foreign man went swimming together when a speedboat seemingly delivering tourists allegedly went into the swimming area and struck at least the woman.
The woman was later found floating deceased in the water off of Koh Larn and had signs of propeller marks from a boat across her body. She was identified but her name has been withheld pending contact to her family and friends.
As of press time the foreign man remained missing with divers searching the area.
The speedboat driver reportedly fled the scene following the incident but Pattaya police are searching for the individual responsible by using CCTV, witness testimony, and logs from nearby piers.
Photos are stock photos of Koh Larn from TPN media as the photos from the scene may be disturbing to sensitive viewers.
