Six people, comprising four Russians and two Thais, were in critical condition after their boat, carrying 37 passengers, hit a channel marker in Chalong Bay in Phuket on Wednesday evening.
The accident occurred when the Thanathip Marine 555 brought mostly foreign tourists, 21 Russians, nine Kazakhs and one each from Hong Kong, China and Ukraine, back from the Phi Phi Islands to Chalong Bay at about 5.30pm. The Thais onboard were the driver, his assistants and a tour guide.
