not again, the last mooring project sunk a couple boats already.  44mn baht, wow, gold platet anchor chain i guess. how about cleaning up the ship wrecks first. oh, forgot, natural course. they rot away by themself.

lucky chalong, with this big budget they can fix the floating pier.

How about hiring a pair of divers to attach ropes and buoys to all the useless, boat sinking blocks that are already down there?

This will serve two purposes: An anchor buoy for use and a marker to stop boats sinking.
