PHUKET: -- Marine Police launched safety and rescue education courses in Phuket following the death of a French snorkeller, who was killed by a speedboat earlier this month.

The campaign, entitled ‘Safety is the heart of tourist’, aims to have all crew working with tourists on the island to be trained within in two months. By January 15, more than 100 boat crew will have already taken the course, confirmed Phuket Marine Police Chief Panya Chaichana

“The project was launched to reduce the number of marine accidents and improve the rescue skills of boat crew,” Lt Col Panya said. “The course reviews the laws that govern the marine world, as well as offers live-action drills so that they can practice responding to emergency situations.”

Looks like a wedding scene! The blind teaching the blind how to drive.

You mean that there was no safety training or rescue training before they are issued a licence to carry tourists. I leave here on Friday, back to Australia to live away from the irresponsible.

Hope you enjoy not being allowed to do anything that might be remotely considered good fun...
