Three tourists and four crew members from a speed boat were safely rescued after their vessel capsized near Ma Island in the Andaman Sea.

 

Responding to a distress call from the Andaman Adventure Company, operator of the speed boat service, after its vessel took on water as it was heading for Phuket from Lanta Island, marine police and other officials from the Hat Nopparat Thara National Park rushed to the rescue.

 

The rescue team managed to pluck all the seven crew members and passengers from the sea and took them to hospital on Phi-Phi Island for first-aid treatment.

One has to sometimes question the seamanship of the crew and seaworthiness of the vessels.

After-all we are in Thailand.

One should always question these operations!

Well, when you are a foreigner, the authorities will do, definitely.

I have experience with that.

I've spent decades on boats here it's safer than you'd think for the better operators. Of course, it's Thailand so there's just monkey business everywhere and that makes things unsafe.

 

Only four passengers? What size was the boat?
