Thousands Stranded At Koh Tao?

[tracker]

Yesterday (5/12) by gf translated the following she heard on the radio (a station where people can call to inform about traffic). One caller had the following info:

Koh Tao has thousands of people stranded there. Food and fresh water running out. over 2000 are foreign tourists. Generators are almost without fuel and the waves are to high to send the normal ferry boats to get them out.

Strange thing is, there is nothing in the media about this. Anyone has more info?

Sounds like old news to me, this was reported last week as well. But, it happens every year, sometimes more than once a year. The Navy will bring in supplies and evacuate--unless these people have a plane to catch it isn't a major thing to stress about.

That's complete nonsense.

Just returned from KT with 9.30 Seatran ferry after a 2 day stay on KT.

Everything's fine there, boats been going out diving every single day and beer definately has not run out on KT!

The ride back today was a bit bumpy, but the big Seatran ferry could easily deal with it, the trip to KT three days ago was a breeze!
