Aussieroaming Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Holding a race in a river that is probably still pumping with flood waters and debris. Obviously there was no need for any safety devices such as flotation vests or safety craft. I'm surprised that Thais haven't become extinct given the total lack of common sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obviously a break failure... The coxswain by now is surely claiming he suffered a ‘lap-nai’.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
