Enoon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 "stuck........when it was low tide." I do hope that nobody says anything stupid like: "So the best thing to do was get out onto the sandbank, without life jackets, and hope that the rescue boats arrived before the tide rose again?" Because obviously they would take the duration of slackwater and likelihood of adverse weather conditions into account.........wouldn't they?

ChipButty Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I can see from the photo that boat has 3 engines, I think they are licensed for about 55 passengers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pique Dard Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 due to the sulphurous reputation of pha nga, one can wonder if the tour boat captain was sober Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
