Our team administered CPR It looks like the "tour team" did not apply CPR so that valuable time was lost transporting the victim by boat to Royal Thai Navy emergency rescue team based at Koh Lanta Noi to receive CPR. If true the tour company should be held at least partially liable for the victim's treatment and recovery or death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
