CHIANG RAI: -- The body of a second victim of Monday’s boating accident on the Kok River in Mueang Chiang Rai has been retrieved.

 

The body of Arkom Panyarew, 35, was found on Thursday, 500 metres downstream from the spot where a long-tail boat sank on Monday evening after striking a rock midstream.

 

The same accident claimed the lives of Wilaiporn Intharachak, 31, and her two-year-old daughter Apitchaya.

 

Divers quickly discovered the mother's body, only for the current to carry off the toddler. She has not yet been found.

 

The boat’s skipper and two other passengers survived the mishap.

:The boat’s skipper and two other passengers survived the mishap"...

...the boat skipper who did not own the boat, borrowed the boat without asking the owner, and to top it all off was running out of gas.

By the way in some countries running out of gas with a boat is an offence.

3 dead. Sad indeed.  Charges against culprit?

Accidents will happen, rivers particulary in that area change course all the time, not intentional and no offense.  Having passengers with no life preserver under those circumstances is an offence and death to these people is negligent homicide.  Very sad, RIP the victims prosecute the offender.
