Chinese tourist killed in jet ski crash


A Chinese tourist was killed and another injured after their jet skis collided off Thailand’s Phuket island, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported, citing China’s embassy in Thailand.

The accident on Tuesday marks the second incident involving Chinese tourists near Phuket in just two days.

On Monday, a catamaran carrying 33 Chinese and five crew members capsized off the coast of Koh Racha island north of Phuket, CCTV reported.

All those on board were rescued with no casualties, the report said.

Last year, Chinese tourists accounted for the largest group of visitors to Thailand, with 6.7 million visits to the South-East Asian country. — Reuters
