A speed boat service operator in Phuket, the famous resort island of Thailand, will launch a half-day boat tour that will cost Thai tourists only 399 THB next month.
The tourist boat “Phoenix” which capsized off Thailand’s resort island of Phuket four days ago was carrying a total of 89 passengers, instead of 93 as stated in previous news, according to Thai authorities.
