Ten Rohingya men were found floating in the sea near Koh Bulone in Satun's Langu district on Tuesday morning and another 41 Rohingya were later found on an island in Thung Wa district.

The 10 men were seen by local fishermen and rescued. They were exhausted, supported only by small foam floats, and were believed to have been in the sea for some time. They were taken to shore at Laem Tepan in tambon Pak Nam, where they were handed over to local police and given food and water.
