PHUKET:-- The Phuket Marine Office has stationed officers at Phuket’s 24 main piers for tour boats and ferries to nearby islands as part of the safety crackdown for the Seven Days of Danger for the New Year.

 

Wiwat Chitchertwong, the Acting Chief of the Phuket Marine Office, and Somchai Sumanushajonkul Deputy Director of Phuket Marine Region 5 office, led the launch of the water-safety offensive at Ao Por and Yamu Pier in Pa Khlok today (Dec 28).

 

“We are checking that boats and the crews are fit and fully prepared in terms of safety,” Mr Wiwat told The Phuket News.

There seems to be a storm brewing on the horizon. Looks like jan 4th. 

Last time one like this hit 300 boats ended up beached a few years back .Just a warning to the powers that be.

With any luck it takes out the win win marina and a few hundred speed boats.

I do not wish any casualtys hence the advance warning.

Hope everything works out well. 

Have they turned a corner? 

Looks very safe, until it's not!

Yes there are forecasts for a cyclonic type system to head through the gulf and line up Phuket. Lets hope the forecasts are inaccurate, as often happens in this part of the world, and it doesn't eventuate.

They don’t have the will to enforce anything here.  That means work-no accountability
