The official site of the Royal Thai Navy shared that the Vietnamese man has travelled back to Vietnam by a speedboat. 

From the Andaman Sea?

No map. No GPS. No satellite phone. No flares or emergency beacons no doubt. But he was wearing a face mask to protect himself against Covid. These Asians really are an inscrutable lot!
