PHUKET: -- Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup is calling for health forms to be completed before allowing any persons to take parasail rides at Phuket’s most-popular tourist beach.

 

The news came yesterday (Sept 6) after the Patong Parasail Club, representing all parasail operators on Patong Beach, submitted its version of self-imposed safety guidelines for all parasail operators in Patong to follow.

 

The operators agreed to draft a list of guidelines after the news of a Chinese tourist allowing his infant daughter to be lifted screaming into the sky on a parasail ride at Patong made international headlines on Aug 16.

Self regulating more like a tick and flick exercise. Good luck.

Unregulated business on the beach endangering the public.

Shouldn't this be banned at all ?

Would that be a physiological exam.

The operators agreed to draft a list of guidelines.......

 

Good, honesty is the best policy........

They only want healthy people being injured/killed?

The Mayor is trying to pass the responsibility to the customers.  This whole saga is a classic case of how to legalise an illegal activity.

Are the forms in various languages ? Especially Chinese.

 

 

10. Parasail operators must be polite and not fight with customers.

 

Besides the above rule ( one of many that seem laughable) I had no idea that these clowns had not only compulsory insurance but also additional coverage.  

 

Where the form is you fall out of the harness it's not the operators fault? 

And whilst he was at it he checked the boats seaworthiness , the comprehensive 20 million

Baht insurance policy update , made it clear must have a spotter on the boat along with the tension tests on harnesses  log book being up to date     55555555
