The driver of a longtail boat has gone missing after he was knocked overboard in a collision with another boat near Chicken Island in Krabi on Friday evening.

A high-tech innovation is restoring traditional tranquillity to popular tourist destination Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. The ear-splitting noise of diesel engines is being replaced by the gentle hum of electric longtail boats, ferrying passengers through the market in Ratchaburi province.
