Two tourists from Russia were injured due to a collision between a boat and a fishing vessel near Pattaya - nine people were injured. After the impact, the boat began to sink.
According to Mesh, the accident happened late on November 9 near the Bali Hai Pier. The speedboat had 27 passengers. The rescue forces pulled nine victims from the water and evacuated them: six Thais, two Russians and a Ukrainian. Most of them escaped with scratches, but all were taken to hospitals.
The captain of the fishing boat said that the boat was coming at high speed straight towards him. He tried to brake, but the ship first crashed into the bow of the boat and then hit him in the stern.
The boat driver told the police that he simply did not notice the fishing boat.
