A French father and his two young sons were rescued off the coast of the Thai island of Koh Samui after spending more than 16 hours adrift at sea. The family had originally rented a jet ski from a local operator, but their vessel capsized and they failed to return it by the agreed-upon time.
Local authorities launched a search and rescue effort following the failure to return the rented watercraft. The operation successfully located the father and his sons after they had been stranded in the water for over half a day.
