Ferry to Koh Tao sinks - all passengers saved.

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

PHUKET: A search and rescue centre has been set up to look for two men - a Thai cook and a British tourist - who were still missing after a scuba-diving tour boat sank near Ko Torinla or Ko Khai island...

Funny how they just say foreigner withoit specifying the nationality. Methinks they won't want to say if s/he was Chinese. Apparently that Taiwanese (Chinese) who died after being turned away from a private hospital caused a stir on social media in China.
BP also just saying foreigner, https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/ge ... f-phangnga
Panic over. The deceased foreigner was not Chinese, just a Brit. Sorry for my dark humor.

All passengers, mainly foreign tourists, and crew were safely rescued after a night ferry to Koh Tao was hit by high waves before it sank on Friday morning.

The ferry was hit by waves as high as 3 metres about 4 nautical miles from the shore at Koh Tao in Koh Phangan district. This resulted in sea water entering the vessel and damaging its water pumps, officials said.

The ferry was carrying about 70 passengers, mostly foreign tourists, and crew.

At 9.10 am, speedboats and other boats were sent to the spot with rescue workers, police and local leaders arriving there to help transport the passengers and the crew. All were taken to Koh Tao pier safely.

The ferry later sank about 10.30am.

I wonder if Ian Yarwood will have a theory about this incident.
I don’t know if this comment is just stupidity or you really don’t know about Worat Toovichian the son of Koh Tao’s headman?

He is literally a serial killer and not the only one at work on that awful Death Island,the multiple unexplained deaths are very well documented and could only be covered up in a country as corrupt as Thailand.

How would you feel if it were a member of your family that went on holiday and never returned,then you find out they died under horrific circumstances it’s just not something to be so flippant about?
Worat Toovichian - Never heard of him and NFI either.

"literally a serial killer" Why literally? Is there a difference between a serial killer and a literal one? (Or am I being flippant again?)

"How would you feel if it were a member of your family that went on holiday and never returned, then you find out they died under horrific circumstances it’s just not something to be so flippant about?"
But they haven't, so I don't care what happens on Koh Tao because murders happen everywhere, everyday. And that's why I can be flippant and not someone that gets on their high horse and virtue signals and takes offence by proxy.

And as for Ian Yarwood, he has repeatedly declined to answer the much asked question as to what fuels his insatiable interest. He just keeps posting YouTube videos of old news and never engages. So he goes in the nutter file.
It’s just pointless trying to remonstrate [mod edit. Then don’t. silly name calling deleted]
