scorecard Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 So much for all the big talk about new regulations, boats must be checked before they leave etc., etc., etc. Lack of professional attention by officials still the order of the day. Nothing has changed, stand by, more bad headlines coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Very glad the government's latest boat safety and inspections program, post the Chinese tourist mass deaths, is going along so well.... One less dangerous, poorly crewed boat out there serving as a potential death trap for tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
