Koh Samui Ferry Capsizes 7 Missing


Recommended Posts

A ferry from Koh Samui capsized two nautical miles (2.3 miles) before reaching Donsak pier on the mainland. 7 people are missing.

Last night was quite windy on the Pattaya side of the Gulf of Thailand.  The waves were kicking on Jomtien Beach. I love windy nights. If raining indoors; if not raining best time to be out and about.

This was not a passenger ferry.   There were a few garbage trucks and other vehicles on board.  So far there are nine survivors.   

I guess it's a judgment call as when to operate in choppy waters.   I suppose the standard might be looser for ferries without too many passengers.
