Maybe he could have flown in on something bigger and brought some "freezer units" with him.

they'd need to be high capacity units - to counter his hot air

A committee to determine which bodies can be returned?

What does this mean?

 

 

Not even 2 years since the last mishap, lessons learned?https://www.thephuketnews.com/15-dead-in-ayutthaya-boat-sinking-59153.php#tK8itsuVHYu2OZjT.97

Can't wait to see him talk his way out of this one,

 

Everybody leelac - he's wearing a blue hat and yellow neckerchief.

"Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan blamed Chinese tour operators for not respecting Thai safety legislation." (in Bangkok Post)

 

Disgusting creature!

The sermon "  Just bad luck boys, try & be a little more careful from now on

                           I still need a lot of money to build these high speed train killers"

I said this the other day , it will be ironic if all immigration laws are tightened after this disaster and we all have more hoops to jump through. Not surprised at all at his comments. ?

They can't only be seen to tighten things for the Chinese, we'll all be lumped together.

Maybe they need to get rid of all foreigners then they'll not have any more problems ( Sarc)

 

My sincere condolences to all those involved in this event.

The boat went out despite the warnings of very stormy weather.

Whoever made the decision to take the boat out should be prosecuted.

Will this event hurt tourism? No.

However, serious pressing of charges in this event will restore confidence in the "system".
