Foreign Boater Allegedly Seizes Public Mooring, Threatens Local Boat Drivers

Off the coast of Koh Hey in Nam Bor Bay, Phuket, a foreign man and his son are reported to have anchored their catamaran at a designated public mooring buoy—then claimed the buoy as their own and threatened other boat drivers with a knife if they tried to tie up. The buoy in question had been installed by the Phuket Marine Office to protect coral and organise boat traffic. A local operator filmed the confrontation and is calling on authorities to intervene before violence escalates. No formal response from the relevant departments had been reported at the time of the story.
