Military, local officials study feasibility of cross gulf ferry service

Why does this story evoke images of hundreds dying every few months in "accidents" ala Sri Lanka and the Philippines?

30-million-baht feasibility study

Thirty million just to determine if it's possible? That's a lot of bottles of whiskey and soapy massages and probably a new car or two.

280 passengers and more than 30 vehicles

That means 250 people dumped off at the pier with bags and no transportation.
The taxi snakes and tuk tuk lizards must be licking their eyeballs.
