Jomtien beach had a drowning alert this afternoon when two farang mates went for a swim and only one came out.

After a frantic search for his friend the Sea Rescue and watersports mafioso were alerted and combined their resources to sweep the area, until about an hour later the missing body was found face up in a deckchair having returned from the growing crowd at the water's edge still wondering what all the fuss was about.
