happy chappie Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Very bad reporting as usual.nowhere does the original report the polish guy 1km out at sea.he was pulled out of the water 100m from the beach.i also noted that there is no mention of life guards in both cases.i think you've got a better chance of survival swimming in the North Atlantic than a Thai beach.the main attraction of Thailand are the beaches which are left to look after themselves in many cases and can be very dangerous as these two poor souls have found out.
