Tourists in chlorine scare
Thirty-seven people, including 26 tourists, had to be treated in hospital after a Thai resort put too much chlorine in the swimming pool.
It is believed staff at the Phuket Orchid Resort and Spa in Karon, south of Patong, wrongly used full strength chlorine instead of diluting it first.
The 26 tourists, which included children, and 11 Thais were taken to Patong hospitals for emergency treatment.
Most were treated for a burning sensation in their lungs caused by chlorine gas and later released.
