 A local government-controlled Hospital is under-fire following allegations of poor treatment of a motorbike accident victim who had sustained a broken leg. Khun Maitinee aged 17, who works at the Big C Supercenter in South Pattaya was on her way home when she was hit by a car. She sustained facial injuries and a broken leg and was rushed to Banglamung Hospital where an x-ray of the leg took place which clearly indicated a serious break. The doctor on duty advised the girl to go home and wait for 2 to 3 days. If, at this point, she felt unwell, she should then return to Hospital. The girl was baffled at this decision and insisted the break should be treated. It was then decided that the girl would be transferred to Chonburi Hospital but she would have to make her own arrangements to get there.

 A meeting took place at Pattaya City Hall on Thursday afternoon at which a raft of new ideas were laid out with the intention of finally fixing the seemingly never-ending problems with jet-ski operators. All jet-ski operators from Pattaya, Jomtien, Naklua and Koh Larn were called to attend the meeting. The meeting was chaired by Khun Chaovalit, the Marshal of Banglamung. Following a huge amount of adverse publicity in recent times, both in the local and overseas press as well as from senior foreign government officials, City Hall was finally goaded out of its inertia by a damning news report aired on Thai TV Channel 3 last month. From now on the seabed will be a rosy place because all jet-ski operators will have to be licensed on a yearly renewable basis, all their employees will be registered as will all jet-skis, and operators will have to take out proper insurance.

Hitomi Shibata, the Japanese tourist who died while on a dive tour off Koh Racha yesterday, was struck in the face by the propeller of the dive boat she was with, police told the Phuket Gazette today.
“From our initial investigation, Miss Hitomi was diving with her dive instructor and a friend when they saw her suddenly start to rise to the surface,” said Chalong Police Duty Officer Attawat Suwannarat.
“The dive instructor said that he heard a noise before the accident, so he thought that Miss Hitomi may have accidentally pressed something on her dive equipment that forced her to surface unexpectedly.
“They were near her but could not grab her in time,” he explained.
