By Tim Newton A yacht was found sunk at Railay Bay, Ao Nang, Krabi yesterday (Monday). The cause is believed to be a leak while left at anchor. No reports of anyone injured or missing. The Chief of Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, Worapot Lomli, received a report about the incident and ordered officers to head to the sunken yacht to investigate. The yacht has completely sunk in around 5 metres of water. Only the mast and the two top levels of spreaders can still be seen sticking out of the Railay Bay waters, about 1 kilometre offshore.

Juan B Tong Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yep, boats usually sink because of water entering them and not being promptly removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
