By Kritsada Mueanhawong

 

  

A meeting to discuss marine safety was held at Nong Talay Sub District Administration OrBorTor yesterday (January 30), where the idea was floated to purchase a medical boat (marine ambulance) by the President of Krabi Tourism Association, Wattana Rerngsamut, to increase safety and emergency transportation in case of accidents at sea.

 

The meeting was chaired by the President of Nong Talay OrBorTor, Sukkai Chan-On and brought together speedboat operators, long-tail boat operators, tour guides and hotels representatives in the area.

 

The President of Krabi Tourism Association says the idea is about to be officially filed to the authorities for consideration.

25 years ago my ex-gf was a tourguide in Thailand for farang grouptours. They went to phi phi but one of them broke his leg while climbing the mountain.

 

So that night she had to hire a longtailboat to bring them to mainland to a hospital, leaving the group alone on the island.

 

It was very stressfull she told me...so now 25-30 years later they finally get an ambulanceboat (maybe)....

Yes thailand needs more quality tourists, all is up to western standard which reflects the western prices.
