Phuket wake park

[beechbum]

Anyone hears anything about a man drowning there on 15 april and no help/first aiders on hand?

Sad and aamazing if true.

Never been there and see by their web site they use the 1 price for thais and a diffrent for farang system so dont think ill ever go.

Maybe you are referring to this news story ---> http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/817984-russian-tourist-60-rushed-into-phuket-surgery-following-accident-at-water-park/

But the Russian man did not drown. He had a serious injury at the Water Park about the date you refer to ?

He is talking about the wake park. It's water skiing via cables.

So far i'm aware and from experience there are no life guards at the wake park.

I highly doubt that the (cheap) Thai workers at the wake park are first aid trained.
