A French father and his two young sons were found safe after going missing during a jet ski trip off Koh Samui. The family was reported missing by a jet ski operator at 6pm on August 13 after they failed to return to shore. The family, consisting of a 50-year-old Frenchman and his sons aged 12 and nine, were confirmed to be from France.
Officials set up a command center to coordinate the search, while the boys' mother waited on the beach. Rescue teams began searching the coastline in the evening, but strong waves reaching three to four meters prevented them from continuing the search. At around 10.30am the next day, the family was found treading water and were brought ashore for medical checks. The details of what led them to be adrift overnight remain undisclosed.
