Rough sea prevents boats from picking up tourists

By THE NATION

 

 

Strong winds and waves thwarted speed boats from picking up around 200 tourists from Princess Beach in Koh Miang of Similan Islands on Sunday (October 27).

 

The tourists and their guides were then told by local officials to walk to the other side of the Miang island where they boarded rubber boats and punts taking them to the speed boats.

 

It took one hour for the rubber boats and punts to make it to the speed boats and that all tourists were safe, said Ruamsil Manachongprasert, head of Similan Islands National Park.

This group of tourists got a 2 for 1 thrill. 

 

Good that the local officials were able to do a “work around”.
