A ferry carrying 70 foreign tourists sank on an evening voyage to Koh Tao.
The vessel, weighing 115 tons was hit by waves as high as 3 meters, 4 miles from shore.
The goods news is all passengers and crew were rescued by other boats.
The story is about the LACK OF SAFETY in Thailand.
Why in the world would the Captain of a vessel depart when he knew how high and high rough the seas were?
It goes to show you, a severe lack of common sense that could have killed all 70 aboard by one person’s decision.
All for what? Profit from 70 passengers?
Tourists need to understand the lack of safety all across Thailand. NEVER expect there is something 100% safe until you prove it.
If you are boarding a vessel on the water in Thailand, do your OWN WEATHER RESEARCH before getting on board.
You could end up saving your own life, by waiting for calmer weather.
