A 20-year-old Singaporean remains in Phuket to help with investigations into the death of his friend.
Mr Tang Jung Han was involved in a jet-ski collision on April 2 that killed his close friend, Mr Loh Ying Jie, also 20.
They were on holiday there with three of their best friends.
Mr Loh died in a Singapore hospital 11 days later.
Mr Tang's passport was retained by the police.
He faces the possibility of criminal charges, which comes with a jail term, in connection with the accident.
Both his and Mr Loh's families had been locked in negotiations over compensation for expenses incurred by the latter’s family as a result of his death.
Mr Loh's family told The New Paper last night that the families have reached a deal for $100,000. Patong police chief Superintendent Arayapan Pukbuakao told The New Paper earlier that Mr Tang may not be put behind bars if he helps with the "funeral expenses".
