Great English....

By the way RIP, at least his family can now give him a fitting funeral.

Brilliant. "Returning from", "on the way to", "....at 8.30 pm last night......half an hour after.....7.30 pm"

RIP anyway.

I'm not English so I can not comment on the English but

She fell into the Sea, Mrs Inge and She came with her husband

I really think it is no good to comment that at least his family ...

Oh well who cares about English Gramma police.

RIP and condoleances for her Family.

ive done 100+ crossing on those ferries... how the <deleted> do you manage to fall off one? the railings are high enough and theres even a chain across the lowered rear ramps

How do we know if was a fall? Husband? coming from bkk for a vacation? I would look deeper....

Apparently a Chinese tourist fell off the ferry the previous night, but was rescued. These were both on centrepoint ferries, not the Thamachat / Sapparot ones.
