Authorities in Thailand are investigating the cause of a jet ski collision that killed a Chinese tourist in the holiday destination of Phuket on Tuesday.
The tourist was operating a jet ski near Patong Beach when it collided with another jet ski, also operated by a Chinese tourist, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
The second tourist sustained minor injuries, the report said.
A day earlier, a catamaran with 33 Chinese tourists on board capsized in Phuket. All passengers and crew members were rescued.
And last month, a Russian man died on the island after he was hit by a jet ski.
The incidents involving Chinese tourists come less than a fortnight after Chinese actor Wang Xing went missing near the Thai border with Myanmar.
Wang went to Thailand for work and was later confirmed to have been trafficked by fraud groups. He was rescued and returned home last week.
But the incident has raised concerns about personal safety among some Chinese travellers planning to visit Thailand for the coming Lunar New Year holiday.
Chinese nationals can enter Thailand without a visa, contributing to the country’s popularity as a holiday destination.
