webfact Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Polish tourist and Thai female remain missing after kayak trip off Phuket By The Thaiger PHOTOS: Phuket People’s Voice A helicopter has now joined the growing fleet of vessels who have been searching for a Polish tourist and a Thai woman. The pair disappeared after hiring kayaks with friends at Ya Nui Beach in Phuket yesterday afternoon. Search efforts resumed early this morning after a fruitless search last night. 26 year old Mateusz Juszkiewicz from Poland and a female Thai friend, 23 year old Werakan Sirirakon from Nakon Sawan, were kayaking between Ya Nui Beach and the small island offshore with friends yesterday afternoon. The group hired four kayaks to explore the island, just south of popular Nai Harn Beach. Whilst the friends were returning to Ya Nui at sunset last evening, the missing pair contacted their other friends and said they were quite far away and “not able to return to the beach”, according to the police report. There has been no contact with the pair since. The other members of the canoeing expedition contacted the Tourist Police who, in turn, put out the call to local volunteer organisations and the Navy. A search of the waters off Ya Nui Beach continued until almost midnight. Navy helicopters and an armada of smaller vessels, some with the local Navy, have been searching for the pair, and their kayak, this morning. Police say the search will continue around Phuket’s southern waters and local beaches this afternoon. Whilst there has been a strong offshore breeze, the conditions have been reasonable last night and today.

Matzzon Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 As they called, it sounds like they where smart enough to park themselfs on a island. Let´s hope they are found alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipButty Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Whats the chances of survival with the temperatures dropping at night? I was awake around 2 am even at the back of my house was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydraides Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 This is a weird story.............I kayak from Yanui beach frequently and even during rainy season when the waters are rough............its easy to kayak back to shore The seas are calm at the moment and it should be no trouble for them to get back to shore...... There are also a lot of fishing/tourist vessels/yachts around that area for them to try and reach Something dosen't add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaZa9 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Very strong off shore winds could have been an issue if they got clear of the shelter offered by the land. But I agree with Hydraides , something is odd . Theres simply not that many places they could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 There's definitely a strong offshore wind there consistently now, picking up as the sun sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but it will not be more than 16 in the water when 24 in the air. If even that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that you have been reading the tourist beach temperatures during daytime, right? So, what you are saying is that it´s about 28 degrees in the evening around 21.00 in the water around a kayak maybe 100 meter out? Sure you do not want to reconsider that?

You go happy and believe that the water have a temperature of 28 degrees night time in December. And no, I actually been to the beach a few times in my soon 23 years here.

Yes, measured during the time the sun is up. Not with night time temperatures taken into consideration. Then it will sink drastically, hence why I asked you to reconsider. Ok, not reconsider. Just look at the right number that are relevant to the news, and at the same time use common sense when you look at the wrong ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they went to the west of that island the next land is about 500km away. The easterlies were very blustery last night, unusually, the wife even commented about it. I turned off the bed room fan last night as I felt colder than I had for a long time. I wouldn't have wanted to be in a kayak on the ocean.

Do you really think that the seas and oceans temperatures fall considerably, if at all, when the sun goes down ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the right number that are relevant to the news, and at the same time use common sense when you look at the wrong ones. Water thermal losses only occur when the air temperature is less than the water temperature. During the day the water gains energy from solar radiation and transmission. The water temperature variations are seasonal, not daily although a small temperature loss may occur at night. This loss is almost immeasurable. Each cubic meter of water has 4.19 megajoules of enery per degree of temperature and transfer of this energy to the lower boundary layer of air is a slow process. Depending on the water turbidity, stratification will occur more during still conditions, raising upper temperatures and cooling those lower.
