Boat Aground In Patong

The important thing is that the boat is off the beach and perhaps the owner has learned some valuable lessons about the kindness of strangers!

I am sure we are all glad to see that he made it, but what he says now (about the help, etc) does not gel with the reports of his interaction with locals when the incident occurred. Funny how things turn around, isn't it?

My first thought was that a PR firm couldn't have written a better quote. No doubt a lot of the people bending his ear (including some folks here) since the grounding had an influence on what he said. Hopefully it's reflective of his attitude and thinking as well.
