If 1,000 baht fine is all they get then they are very lucky considering the amount of damage done .

Police left the Russian group to settle the damage costs with the jet ski rental company.

 

Do the Russians drive jetskis same same way as they drive cars back home, seems highly likely, guess you can take the ruskies outa Russia, but you can't take Russia outa the ruskies.

I would think the thrill of riding a Jet Ski is to ride it in a reckless manner.

Unfortunate accident, and now for the real damage, Settling with the Jet Ski goons!

So we can add 50k baht then, not cheap for a Russian.

i didn't see the damage done but the fine will be the cheap bit. the amount they will have to pay to the jet ski man will be a small fortune.

It is going to take one huge sticker to cover that damage for the next gullible idiot renter.......

It will cost them a small fortune, if they do not have the money I smell problems...

agreed, they would be better trying to buy a new shell if possible.

to be honest in a small way i hope they dont have the money. this is why i thought the jet ski people were meant to be insured these days.
