Updated 16 Sep 2014 @ 09:29
Tourists are being held on the Thai island of Koh Tao after the ferry port was shut to stop the killers of two British backpackers escaping.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) described it as an 'isolated incident' but warned the ferry closure could impact on other travellers.
Local authorities have begun a thorough investigation and have put temporary restrictions in place to prevent potential suspects from leaving the island.
TAT said that while Koh Tao was not on the main tourist trail, it was popular with backpackers and those with a keen interest in snorkelling and diving.
TAT also said that Koh Tao, and other destinations across Thailand remain safe for tourists.
