    43 foreign Phuket tourists saved after speedboat capsizes on way to Koh Phi Phi

    43 foreign tourists from Phuket have been saved after water started pouring into a speedboat they were travelling in and capsized on the way to Koh Phi Phi.




    At 11.40 am yesterday a speedboat named ‘Apitsada 1’ with 43 foreign tourists and two Thai guides, left from Chalong Pier to Koh Mai Thon and Koh Phi Phi.



    When they were between Koh Dokmai (Flower Island) and Koh Keaw (Green Island), about 9.2 nautical miles from Phi Phi, the boat captain discovered that the boat was getting heavier. Crew found water getting inside the vessel and eventually causing it to capsize. There were boats nearby to rescue all the passengers.

    Will they be salvaging this boat to find out who sent a fucking deathtrap out with a load of tourists on it?

    Oh, no-one died.

    The “boats nearby” were all fully qualified rescue boats activated by marine police in order to effect life saving duties, said a government spokesman.

    Fokkin jokers.

    Of course it could all be a cunning plan to boost Smartphone sales in Central.

    And yet, no one learns from past experiences.

    A salient feature of intelligent human beings is that they learn from experience. The Thai, lacking this cognitive ability, do not.
    We will be reading the same stories later this year, next year, and the year after.
    Essentially, one has to care and as we all know the Thai only care about one thing, money.
