The two days of ceremonies, being held at Saphan Hin, conclude this evening with a special multi-faith service. During his address last night, Mr Weerasak said, “The Thai government would like to hold activities to heal the hearts of Chinese tourists’ relatives who were affected by the Phoenix incident.

steelepulse Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 >>>“We will practice genuine marine safety in action soon.”Classic. Admitting that in the past they weren't practicing genuine marine safety. Does anyone believe, besides the Thai government officials, that the Chinese are buying this charade? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesofa Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 "Now, Royal Thai Police Deputy Commander Gen Rungrot Saengkhram will lead the investigation which is being carried out by 100 other investigators who will gather evidence in the case." Go on, I'll be the first to ask: Why do they need 100 investigators? Is it some attempt to impress the Chinese with the numbers? That's about two-to-one investigators per death, (not that I can see the relevance of it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I can just imagine; 100 investigators need to be moved to another island or whatever to do their work. Without any thinking they all get loaded onto a boat rated to carry 50 people and missing safety equipment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
