[webfact]

 

Chalong – A boat captain jumped into the sea to escape after a crew member allegedly tried to attack him with a knife on a boat in Rawai.

The Royal Thai Navy Third Area Command told the Phuket Express that they were notified of the incident earlier this week from the unidentified owner of a two storey fishing boat. The boat was travelling from Kata Beach to Chalong.

 

The boat owner was notified from the boat captain that when they arrived near Nai Harn Beach in Rawai, a boat crew member tried to attack the boat captain with a knife.

See the conditions the workers live in on the fishing boats ... ( btw , the photo shows a small yacht , not a fishing vessel ) ,

Modern day slavery can lead to violent reactions .

I thought The Captain is always the last to leave the ship. Not the first one.🤔

That's a common but one of the better looking ones tourist fishing boat in the photo. 

They typically have besides the captain only 1 crew member.

I'm sorry to say, I also used to have a boat like that, a bit smaller than the one in the picture but it is really called a 'fishing boat'
