Breaking News: Search launched for tourists lost in Phuket jungle

PHUKET: A search has been launched for two tourists last seen entering the Khao Phra Taew Wildlife & Forest Reserve, in the heart of Phuket, at about 4pm yesterday.

The search has been expanded to included the popular waterfall area and the surrounding jungle.

The couple took a taxi to the wildlife park and asked the driver to wait while they entered the park.

The couple later called the driver, saying they were lost, the Phuket Gazette was told.

The signal from the couple’s mobile soon no longer responded and the couple have been out of contact since.
