Othello Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Why does that ship look like it's been in a high-speed collision with a paint tanker?

schlog Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Fix the major and all the welcomer for 12 hours at the ship funnel. These cruise liners are horrible. While they anchor in Patong bay there is so much exhaust. Let this polluter anchor at Ao Makham and not in Patong! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/pollution-cruise-ships-po-oceana-higher-piccadilly-circus-channel-4-dispatches-a7821911.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokie Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 They hardly 'descend' onto Patong, as soon as they touch land most are wisked away around the island on mini vans from the roadside. As for the ship polluting, the worst polluters in Patong are Speedboats, Jet Skis and Tuk Tuks - there we go three in one lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Surprised they are so welcome; the Genting Group specialises in gambling and I'm sure their cruise ships are no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have casinos in the UK, notably in cities with plenty of Chinese in residence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
