A French tourist was rescued while a Senegalese holidaymaker drowned when they ignored red flags to go swimming in the sea during stormy weather in Thailand.
Boualem Yoram Machraoui, 22, from France, and his friend Cheikhouna Ba, 22, from Senegal, were playing in the surf on Freedom Beach in Phuket at noon on July 28 when they were dragged away by the strong currents.
