Overview

• Millie Young, a 57-year-old British woman, and Samniang Chaichana, a Thai crew member, remain missing after their diving boat, the Reggae Queen, capsized in rough waters near the Surin Islands in Thailand.
• The boat was carrying 18 people when it encountered rough waves and began to take on water. Sixteen people were quickly rescued and taken to safety.
• Rescue operations have been ongoing for three days, with teams searching by land, sea, and air. An empty life raft was found 20 nautical miles from where the ship sank.
• Officials believe the missing pair may have been swept as far as 60 miles away from the point where the boat sank due to strong currents.
• The incident has raised concerns about safety standards in the popular tourist destination, as it is one of several similar incidents involving tourist boats in southern Thailand recently.
