A boat on a Muslim religious trip collided with a concrete flood barrier in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya district on Sunday afternoon. The two-level tourist boat named “Sombat Mongkolchai Tabtim” can carry a maximum passenger load of 50, but this boat carrying 150 passengers was travelling along the Chao Phraya River. It hit a concrete flood barrier which acts as part of a pier near Wat Sanam Chai. As the ship was sailing , a sand cargo ship is sailing in front of this boat in the same way. Captain try to dodged and control the boat ,but he can’t. The boat crashed into the embankment until the boat flip side. The lower level of the boat was about two meters below the river surface; the upper level was partially protruding . Now, Fifteen deaths were confirmed on Sunday. They still searching for survivors and bodies
Opinion
In my opinion, I think one of the reason for this happened is climate. Now, Thailand is in rainy season so it's made water level in Chao Phraya river rise. Another reason is that have many boat roanming in Chao Phraya river so that's made waves in the river. As a result, it's made the captain can't control this boat to be good enough and it's made this happened . I felt sad for this happened.
