Another foreign criminal in Thailand.

Feeding the fish. He must be wondering why he was picked on with everything else that goes on here.

Bloody Nora------ this is serious------- he was seen feeding fish in broad daylight-------some people have no shame

Deregistered the tour company......I'm surprised they were registered in the first place........

Speedboats crashing and killing tourists almost daily and this poor happy sod was nabbed feeding fish!

The point isn't feeding fish.

1. Unregistered tour groups

2. Tour groups being led by untrained nobs that allow the tour to do things like feed fish, break off coral for souvenirs, etc.

In other words, the blind leading the blind.

Where did you read deregistered?

Hopefully this will spark the usual knee-jerk reaction and we'll see a crackdown on unregistered tour operators. If this action could remove at least a few of the speedboats from the islands it would only be a good thing. There are far too many day trip operators these days making the experience quite unpleasant. Wishful thinking methinks as money comes first.
