Seven Australians were injured when the two speed boats collided while ferrying revelers to and from the monthly full moon party on Koh Pha Ngan.
Four of the Australians have been hospitalized and at least one is believed to have head injuries.
Drew Oliver is a friend of Australian tourist Katie who has abrasions and a back injury.
"Her father's on his way over there at the moment, a flight organized by the Foreign Affairs Department," he said.
Mr. Oliver says the passengers were thrown into the ocean when the boats collided.
"The vessels collided head on and the girls with Katie were thrown into the water and they were retrieved from the water last night," he said.
A total of 42 people were hurt in the collision and it is believed poor weather may have been a factor in the crash.
