just relaying what I have been told-firstly, by one of the people tossed into the sea-who actually saw dead people floating in the water, in the rescue boat torch/spotlights.
And, the second report came from a policeman.my neighbour, who attended the scene, and spent 2 days netting the water,searching for the missing.

I have heard from two sources about the accident. Both details are the same, but I didn't hold much belief in the first report, but the second is from a very reliable source.
As of Sunday-4 July-16-17 dead. 6 in coma 3 missing.
All the dead were taken to Ko Pangan-the injured to Samui.
One boat had no lights on
one boat operator had been told as early as that morning, not to go to sea.
The local paper will NOT be published for the next month, in an effort to stop the story getting out.-Due out today-we will see.
Just terrible,but nothing will be done to improve things, if no-one knows!
Oh-and NO insurance,because both boats WERE overloaded, and one was told not to operate!!
