A father and his two sons were rescued off Koh Samui, Thailand, after spending more than 16 hours adrift at sea when their jet ski capsized. The incident highlights the risks of water sports at sea and the importance of prompt rescue efforts.

The 50-year-old man and his sons were found exhausted after swallowing substantial amounts of seawater, according to local official Amorn Chomchoey. They appeared pale, particularly the boys, but were assessed at hospital and discharged shortly afterwards.
