The group was en route from Ao Nang Beach to Hong Island when a powerful wave struck the vessel. Despite the incident, no fatalities were reported. The Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park received an alert and dispatched a patrol boat to the Nong Thale subdistrict area. Upon finding the overturned longtail boat, the 12 passengers were rescued by a passing speedboat operated by Sayang Tour and brought to shore at Khlong Muang Beach. The group included 10 tourists, a guide, and the boat's captain. Six of the tourists sustained minor injuries. Medical personnel from the national park, subdistrict emergency services, and Krabi Pitak Pracha Foundation provided further assistance, with three tourists requiring hospitalization. The capsized boat's owner will be responsible for retrieving the vessel. Authorities reminded boat operators, especially smaller ones, to remain vigilant and check weather conditions before venturing out to sea to mitigate the risk of similar accidents.",
