Phuket Jet-Ski Victim Dies: Charge May Follow
By Alan Morison and Chutima Sidasathian

Tuesday, April 13, 2010
A YOUNG TOURIST, seriously injured in a jet-ski crash on Phuket, died this morning in a Singapore hospital. His death 11 days after a collision off Patong beach that left him in a coma may lead to a manslaughter charge against the friend who was riding the other jet-ski in the incident.

A charge could come as soon as the courts return after the Songkran New Year holiday break next week. The young man who may face the count was one of five friends from college and national service who came from Singapore to Phuket to enjoy a five-day holiday.

Patong chief of police Colonel Arayapan Pukbuakao said today that whether a charge was laid against the young man probably depended on the parents of the young man's dead friend, Loh Ying Jie, 20. It is believed the parents, who flew to Phuket with a daughter as soon as they heard of the collision, have asked for compensation from the other boy's family.

An offer has been made but it is not considered to be sufficient. The boys were not covered by travel insurance.

Joh Ying was flown home in a special medical evacuation flight on Sunday April 4, and the four friends were due to fly home the following day. When Phuketwan spoke to the young men in the intensive care unit at Bangkok Hospital Phuket that Sunday evening, the four were anticipating they would all fly home as planned the following day.

It is believed that one of the boys subsequently had his passport retained by police.

Colonel Arayapan said he had had a telephone call from the Singaporean Ambassador today, informing him that Joh Ying had died. Police hope to have a clearer picture of likely developments on Wednesday morning. The wake for Joh Ying is also believed to be taking place in Singapore on Wednesday.

When Phuketwan spoke to the four friends, conversing in the IC unit within meters of their injured pal, all four agreed to tell their story on condition that they remained anonymous.

They wanted to speak out because they believed that safety standards surrounded the hire of jet-skis in Patong were not good enough, that the beach operators had no knowledge of emergency numbers, that help was slow to arrive, and that precious time was wasted taking the young man to a hospital that did not have the necessary equipment to treat his head injury appropriately.

They were upset that all four were questioned by police, believing that two of them could have answered questions while the other two helped to expedite their friend's treatment.

There is one major discrepancy between the young mens' account of what took place, and the account by the jet-ski operator that subsequently formed the basis of the police report. The jet-ski operator said that three jet-skis were involved in the collision, in the water opposite the Graceland Resort. However, all four young men were adamant that only two jet-skis crashed.

One young man admitted he had been blinded by spray as he came over a wave and struck his friend, but that the jet-ski operators had failed to adeqately warn them of the dangers of the vehicles beyond saying: ''Don't crash.''

The four were also surprised to find that Patong beach has no lifeguards, a situation true of all popular tourist beaches on Phuket since mid-November. Although registered jet-skis have been compulsorily insured since the clamor surrounding jet-ski damage extortion scams last year, riders are not insured.

A long-running debate about whether the jet-skis should be allowed to continue free-range operations at key Phuket beaches is likely to be reignited by the death of the young man and the evidence that due care and responsibility seem to be missing at Patong and probably other beaches, just as lifeguards are absent.

Phuketwan has learned the name of the young man who may face a charge this week but is withholding it because of our undertaking for he and his friends to remain anonymous.
