One person is dead and two, including a young student, remain missing after a ferryboat shelter on a bank of the Mae Klong River in Samut Songkram collapsed on Tuesday, plunging more than two dozen people into the water.

 

Twenty-three people, injured to varying degrees, were rescued.

 

But one person died, the identity of whom is not yet clear among the three initially reported as missing – Sureeporn Urachuen, Pornpilai Sualek and Nong Khao Too, a student at Thetsaban Wat Pom Kaeo School.

 

Undergoing treatment at Somdetphraphutthaloetla Hospital are three men – Supanat Maneerat, Charuay Saengchan and Boonsueb Wannawong – and four women, identified as Supanida Khumanuwong, Sunan Tengsakul, Pantita Pholcharoen and Korawee Snanboon.

 

 

Treated and released were male victims Kriengkrai Rodtayoi, Tongtang Channak, Kasidis Pongprom, Naruedol Chuenjit and Uea-angkul Kositpanich and female victims Montha Mangkorn, Isaneekorn Pimchan, Cholathorn Chanprasit, Pannee Panbanchong, Srinual Snamkhet, Busayakorn Runguthai, Kaewta Changpradab, Yanisa Mankhetkarn, Kaewalin Yaklua, Woranuch Kamkongkaew and Wasita Saengkrua.

They were not waiting for a ferry but were eating in a " food pavilion " 

You know that Thai people have a huge fear of emptiness;
it is impossible for them to imagine that a place made to wait for a ferry is desert when one could install a temporary restaurant there to make money.

 

Add to this the fact that the words maintenance and repair are not part of their way of life and we have this kind of disaster every day.
