Hmmm.. Pattaya, boat problems, Phi Phi and now Phuket.... 300 THB entrance fee per 1st of June to invest in tourism....A long way to go

From the link:  "It has been reported that the tourists were taking photos on one side of the boat which caused the boat to lean over. Water leaked into the boat before it capsized."

Long-tail boat flotation test - put 9 whales on one side to lean and take photos. Fail, needs new boat design.

 

I bet the poor owner doesn't have any insurance, probably would need to borrow money to buy a new one.

It said Krabi, not Phuket... Koh Hong is in the Krabi area.

It doesn't say it sank. Turn it over, bail it out, service the motor (maybe....!) and Bob's yer auntie..........
