Preparations are underway to lift a sunken tourist boat that capsized in a storm off southern Thailand's Phuket island, killing at least 42 people.
The Phoenix – which had 105 people on board, including 93 Chinese tourists and 12 Thai crew – went down in rough seas on Thursday evening, in one of Thailand's worst recent accidents.
According to Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong, 14 people are still unaccounted for.
Divers have been searching inside the submerged vessel for survivors. Helicopters have also joined the search.
Search and rescue efforts have been boosted after a Chinese team joined the operations, said the governor.
Friends and relatives of the injured and deceased on Sunday began arriving in Phuket to identify their loved ones.
The Phoenix overturned in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Ko He, a popular one-day trip from Phuket.
Two other boats, including a yacht, also capsized in the same area on Thursday, but their passengers were brought safely to shore, officials said.
