German man drowns off Koh Chang

Quote

 

A 55-year-old German man drowned off Koh Chang after going out to sea to bring his two sons back to shore amid strong waves on Saturday.

Christoph Ralf Sigloch had gone into the water off Khlong Phrao beach to check on his sons because his Thai wife Sunantha was concerned that they were swimming too far from shore, said Pol Lt Col Man Rodthong, a tourist police inspector in Trat.

While swimming, the father suddenly began to appear exhausted and then drowned. His wife immediately called for help from staff of the hotel where the family were staying.
