Pattaya28 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 And now the owner will compensate with his sisters and brothers assets. Cannot make this stuff up !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldroj Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 "... Sunthorn...said he paid officials for mandatory premiums for Thai Pattana Insurance Co. in June when he renewed the license in Nonthaburi province..."! So, he should have records of this (and the government has a problem with corrupt officials), or he is not being truthful (and the government still has a problem, as compensation needs to be paid to the families of the victims).

Somtamnication Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 It was clerical error, people! No comment on govt. officials not inspecting the boat and papers are all in correct order. Would have taken 2 minutes to verify it was insured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowpot Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 13 hours ago, Pattaya28 said: The government should compensate for these deaths. Will they get to the bottom of where the insurance policy money went to ? If a clerical error, then surely the insurance should pay out. Or just more stuff swept under the bulging rug ? Why should the government compensate for this? It is not the government's responsibility. You act like a U.S. welfare recipient. Never thinking where the money the government spends really comes from. Private business is just that, private. If there is wrongdoing then go to court. Don't always expect the government to intervene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is primarily selling other peoples assets. He is selling his own boat which is now salvage value only and probably worth next to nothing and he says he is selling his brothers boat and his sisters land but they might have other ideas about that.

Once you have paid the insurance premium, you then get sent a policy. If the boat owner did not have a policy, he would have known there was no insurance. Not SO You pay the first premium then you get the policy They steal the other 11 payments Its that easy my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the receipts for the other eleven payments? If no receipts, the boat owner would still know he was uninsured. Also, how do you know it was a monthly payment? Could have been annual like all the insurance policies I myself have bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveat Emptor Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 17 hours ago, NongKhaiKid said: Great thought isn't it for everyone who pays money into a govt dept that it can mean absolutely nothing ? I have to admit that over the years I haven't always been too careful with receipts especially for ' minor ' items and payments. but changed my ways because of a couple of things I'd heard. Anyway, I'm not too confident that being able to produce a receipt etc will necessarily help in every dispute especially here where rules get made up as suits the need.

Don't always expect the government to intervene. You must not live on the same planet as the rest of TV. Have you not heard of a coup? The government gets involved in EVERYTHING in Thailand....thats the problem, no personal responsibility from the Thai population only government/military intervention when something doesnt go the way a person wants.

whatproblem Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Let's hope whoever is lying or whoever stole the money should go to prison for 20 years as a show of law ,but it will all be a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgma Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I am surprised no-one blames the passenger for singing and clapping while all dancing on one side, causing the 'captain to be distracted and went along to one side steering. I have some experience with wooden boats and can tell you this floating coffin wasn't designed to carry more the X passengers. But who stole the money and where are the insurance papers then?

williamgeorgeallen Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 18 hours ago, ratcatcher said: It looks like a temporary patch job using marine plywood in order to float the vessel to a shipyard where proper hull repairs can be made. OTOH, they may be better off to tow it out to sea and sink it for an artificial reef. That is now called a death boat. sinking it seems like a waste of a good boat. they can just have a buddist ceremony and put a spirit house on the bow so the ghosts have somewhere to stay.

That can take weeks or months in low-tech Thailand. I know our car insurance renewal does. Anyway, I guess the boat owner assumed it had been sent and a staff member had filed it away.

Mickmouse1 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 <deleted> clerical error?are they really <deleted> stupid and openly admit to corruption? They should face the firing squad for such immoral act that would affect thousands of other indured souls. I think all top brass involved directly or indirectly should be tried in an open court Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesterm Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Where's that farang retiree who recently moved here and asked us why some of us are so unhappy and complaining? Here, things like this, the poisoning of 100 school kids, corporation heirs getting away scott free with outright murder, corruption at the highest levels in the billions like with the general's son - All that while the majority of Thai people are poor and struggling, unable to make sense of all the unfairness and injustice going on in this country. All that and more is why we're unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf12 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 In Pakistan I read in a news report that within government employees are being encouraged to turn whistle-blower. The incentive being the whistle-blower will receive 30% of the ill-gotten gains. Maybe this concept should be adopted in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of insurance the owner deserves life in prison for his crimes. Insurance is not a license to break all the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
