77kaoded Thai Caption: Let's swim after the boat

 

77kaoded published a delightful video that showed several bottlenosed dolphins apparently racing a fishing trawler in the south of Thailand. 

 

One appeared to be a mum of about 2 meters in length while there were perhaps two children of 50 cms length. In total there were 4 or 5.

One of the fishermen filmed the video in the area of Pak Rong Nam, by Koh Nok in Krabi. 

The media reported that this indicated the health of the ocean and natural environment in this area of Thailand.

And restrict the amount of fish the trawler takes out of the ocean every day.

Maybe the dolphins were following the boat for a feed.
