Rescuers off the popular Thai resort island of Koh Samui have pulled a French family from the sea after they were left stranded for many hours following a jet ski accident, according to news agency AFP.
AFP reports that the family consists of a father and his two sons, who had gone out on a jet ski trip near Koh Samui. The vehicle capsized during the outing, leaving all three in the water.
