Thailand Ferry Sinks: 'Tourists Among Dead'

A tourist ferry has sunk off the Thai resort of Pattaya, killing at least six passengers, including three foreigners.

A police spokesman said the rescue effort was continuing, amid fears a number of passengers may be trapped inside the boat.

Local media reported that dozens of ambulances had been called to Pattaya beach to treat casualties pulled from the water.

About 100 people were on the ferry when it ran into engine trouble and sank near Koh Larn, a small island popular with daytrippers, the police spokesman said.

Some 22 million tourists visited Thailand last year.

Pattaya is one of the country's most popular resorts, particularly among Russians, and is renowned for its vibrant nightlife and cheap accommodation.
