they don't know how to swim but still going to the water...brainless people

Just don't let her get on that boat or it could finish her????

Wow, it took 10 people to rescue her?

 

The press was invited to see a 20 men crew saving a helpless Chinese tourist.

so choking on water is the new Thai buzzword for drowning?

Won't be long before this pristine diving area is the next ecological disaster similar to Maya Bay as the Chinese hordes descend upon it.

Good job she was Chinese and not a ferang, otherwise a charge of 'swallowing water with intent to steal' may have been made.

Chinese and water compatibility = food for fish... sorry for thoughts...

 

Buisness as usual as they continue to destroy that amazing beach...

Even more bizarre given that she was wearing a bouyancy vest. If she had actually shut her mouth she could have saved herself.

Have you ever met a Chinese woman who could keep her mouth shut ? ????

The news report was going to get out somehow, so better to spin it, making it look more innocuous. Maybe some TAT involvement?
