When the boat hit the rocks, the boat driver, identified as Mr. Natthawut Poengkuson, told the tourists to put on their life vests before the vessel capsized.

I'm sure the Chinese authorities have been put at ease by this this statement.

Prawit can use his diplomatic skills too: "At least no Chinese died"

Why do the Thais want to drown Chinese?

Because there is loads of them

Drown a million and nobody will even notice....

Yet again Thailand actively demonstrates its skill at on water rescues following a boating accident. This should re-assure the Chinese authorities about safety in the kingdom.

Should have been put on when boarding. The so called driver is negligent and should face maximum punishment.

The Chinese government would do well to ban their citizens from coming to LOS for six months. Then perhaps some improvement in safety would materialize. Unfortunately, once the cash cow returned, so would the greed, corruption and lax safety practices come back.

How does a “pilot “ run away in the middle of the sea?

 

also is it not captain ? Or because it’s a speed boat then it’s a pilot? genuine  question

God, please, don't let the govt. say anything and put their foot in their mouth.
