One Chinese tourist was killed and another injured after their jet skis collided off Thailand's Phuket island on Tuesday, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported, citing China's embassy in Thailand.

The cause of the incident was being investigated, CCTV said.

This marks the second incident involving Chinese tourists near Phuket in just two days.

On Monday, a catamaran carrying 33 Chinese and 5 crew members capsized off the coast of Koh Racha island north of Phuket, CCTV reported. All those on board were rescued with no casualties, the report said.

Thailand is a popular destination for Chinese tourists who are set to travel during the upcoming Lunar New Year break.

Last year, Chinese tourists accounted for the largest group of visitors to Thailand, with 6.7 million visits to the Southeast Asian country.
