Search continues for missing trawler
The navy continued the search for a missing fishing boat and four crew members in the Gulf of Thailand off the lower South coast on Tuesday. The patrol vessel HTMS Pattani, commanded by Cdr Waipot Weeraprasertsak , continued the search begun yesterday up to 100 kilometres from the coast in stormy seas off Pattani and Narathiwat provinces. The large 4-million-baht trawler Kor Phu-ngern was capsized by giant waves about 80 kilometres off Pattani and south of Koh Losin on Saturday night. Another vessel saved one crew member from the stricken boat but two Thai and two Myanmar crewmen remain missing
