  1. To be fair, the report was the boat had 16 tourists, 16 tourists rescued, two missing implying the 'missing' are tourists.
  2. I'm Peter. Nice to meet you Plants.
  3. Soon to be renamed " Aieeeeeee.......!"
  4. But then how often are pump dispensers calibrated? About as often as the air pressure gauges of fuel station tyre pumps and the weigh scales in the local markets.......🙄
  5. Mosquito borne not air borne. Use insect repellent and/or net barriers in rural areas.
  6. 'Turned himself in' Is this a euphemisn for concealing a part of his anatomy to prevent attracting concerned citizens?
  7. They're spraying the high tension cables to keep them cool.......
  8. An English language report from another source says the ferry was hit by a high sea state including 3 metre high waves which flooded the lower deck causing engine failure. Also, that navy divers would inspect the vessel.
  9. In the linked report: However the night boat later sank after splitting into two in the middle with Koh Tao police investigating how this occurred.
  10. This is not low-level smuggling. That number of reefer containers was 'allowed' in by Thai Customs on the instruction of..........
  11. I'm going with the welding of the iron......
  12. Ignore the headline which, again, is incorrect.
  13. My suspicion lies with the southpaw......
  14. I was hoping this would shift the constant blaming on Brexit and Covid yet the latter still features. The commercial equivalent of 'the brakes failed'. I thought, also, that the problem of a shortage of shipping containers had been resolved. Is the lack of conainers actually that containers are sitting empty at some ports throughout the world awaiting orders?
  15. Item 3, recording of audio is legal but the data stored can be shared only between the two parties. Not much use if you don't know who they are.
  16. Do I detect just a teeny lack of sympathy with these poor people....?🤣
  17. Could be the other suspect's property, the retired Captain. Looks like the CIB sent a couple of their men to observe fair play by the CSD.
  18. I heard on the grapevine that he's actually on the auspicious 9th Floor, Room 99.....😋
  19. What is the giant orange vessel? A lifeboat? No mention in the report other than the ferry owner ' later sending two high-speed boats'. Later than what? This could easily have become a major disaster and should be positively followed up by the Government. No doubt social media input from survivors will cause embarassment. The report that Khao Tao police will investigate how the ferry broke in two and sank leaves me shaking my head in exasperation.🙄
  20. Hey! Give them a break. The vessel broke in two and sank now the owner is facing financial hardship. The snores of the sleeping tourists probably weakened the structure. Show some empathy and contribute to the owner's GoFundMe request.😋
  21. And just a couple of days ago the Justice Minister was reported as saying NO visitors were allowed. Now a DPM says it is up to the prisoner. My belief and trust in the judicial system has collapsed. I sense the fat lady is about to sing. 😪
  22. He was a Mayor of New York but when was he Mayor of America? How can there be such an appointment?
