The search for survivors of a speedboat tragedy in Thailand was continuing today.
Eight people are now known to have died when the vessel capsized soon after leaving the island of Pa Ngan, where the passengers had been attending a full moon party.
The dead include a male Briton, The Times reports, as well as an American, a Frenchman, two Israelis and three Thais.
At least 25 other people are still missing, among them five Britons, and holidaymakers from Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Norway.
In all the boat was believed to have been carrying between 50 and 60 revellers but was designed to hold only half that number, a survivor told the newspaper. It overturned three miles off the island of Samui.
