To ensure visitors have a smooth and safe experience, national park officials have pulled out all the stops. Safety equipment and facilities have been thoroughly checked and repaired where needed.

Trolling yet again with the anti-Farang / Thai apologist nonsense at the drop of a hat….


 

…a typical MalcomB post - worthy of nothing other than disdain for this numpty…. It’s astonishing how he misses making an intelligent comment by a country mile.

It really makes you wonder whether or not these boat captains have ever had any safety training, and how much attention they pay to nearby swimmers and divers. What's really surprising is that this doesn't happen more often  considering the incredibly LAX safety standards here. 

 

it wouldn't make any difference, you cannot train stupid

It's the same mentality as on the road   .

They think they are big time driving a small bike with big noise 

Tourist attraction come to Thailand everyone can now drive stoned and drunk you can burn to death on a crapped out bus or be run over by a idiot while swimming 

Yeah ! Best that the world just stays away !

I thought it would be more likely that British Karen didn’t listen to instructions.

The hundreds of other divers seemed to manage ok.

Thats a pretty moronic statement. Divers are under the water and boats on the surface. There should have been diving flags on display and boaters should not be in the same area. Doesn't sound like the safety equip mentioned was in full use.

Or may be hundreds of other divers just got lucky.

Bacchetta is an Italian name.  First found in England in 1891.  Not sure where the Mohammad references come from, but never mind.  Don't care about her size, it's not relevant.  She looks a bit embarrassed to me at having to be carried.  Hope she recovers quickly.

My son's very British gf has a very East European surname. Puzzled she told be her grand father came to Britain from Ukraine during the war. I am interested to find out more if she knows how he got here. I know lots of Poles got here during the war but not that Ukrainians came here. I am of course referring to the 1939-1945 war. So no surprise there are many British with non Anglo Saxon names
