Chief Kankasem Meesuk said an initial investigation into the clip posted by Facebook user Sea Man found that it was a long-tailed boat but he could not clearly see the name. He could not say whether the incident took place off Koh Ngai in Krabi, he said. The chief said that around the island, the national park has prepared buoys for boats to tie to prevent damage to the coral reefs. The clip showed tourists on board as the anchor was dropped. The video also shows the anchor underwater being dragging back and forth along the coral reef. Several netizens called for the authorities to take action against the skipper.

scorecard Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Sure, but is there another point? I wonder how well owners, kippers, drivers know the regulations. Seems to me that communication of laws and regulations etc., is extremely poor. In my own extended Thai family the lack of knowledge of laws, regulations etc etc., is sometimes frightening.

Maybe they think that over throwing a democratically elected government via military coup is perfectly legal and justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxe1200 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Typical anchor failure., as it should not fall directly into the corals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The municipal governments should place mooring buoys at all locations tourist boats drop anchor. Get the money from the licensing money from the boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
