Long list of requirements but no certificate of insurance???

Let's get real.

This is the real world.

I confidently believe the boat owners / operators will shove these requests "under the carpet".

Just a matter of when the next disaster occurs.

Simples..not registered no float..why do they have to try "again" baffles me..

Civil servants do not go up against the rich here, surprised you cant figure that out on your own

It would have to be a very brave cop to impound a 50 million baht boat...

Send in the army. They seem to be the only ones in the country who can accomplish anything.

I have a feeling that after they are done with Phuket, Pattaya is next.
