A Thai parasailing operator agreed to pay a Chinese tourist 400,000 baht in compensation after she broke her leg in a parasailing accident on Karon Beach in Phuket on Saturday, February 24. The operator blamed the accident on a change in wind direction and insisted they adhered to strict safety measures.
The Chinese woman, Nadahan, took to social media to express her dissatisfaction regarding the inadequate safety measures provided by the parasail service provider after the accident. The woman also criticised the hospital she was admitted to for lacking the necessary equipment to treat her injury.
Nadahan accused Thai business operators of prioritising money over tourist safety. She claimed that the parasail operator also refused to adequately compensate her, offering only 50,000 baht despite a treatment cost of 200,000 baht.
