    A British woman is missing in Thailand after a diving boat she was on caught fire, officials have said.

    Alexandra Clarke, a British national, has been named as the one passenger on board the Davy Jones Locke who is still missing.

    “The authorities therefore organised a search team for the missing person,” the social media post reads.

    “After receiving the report (of the fire), the Surat Thani Provincial Marine Office coordinated with private boats and volunteers to quickly help evacuate tourists and crew to another boat safely.”

    The UK Foreign Office said in a statement: “We are supporting the family of a British woman who is missing in Thailand and are in contact with local authorities.”

    The cause of the fire is being investigated.
