Default Shark!...Shark!!...
As I was swimming on a Koh Samet beach, horrifiyng picture from the film "Jaws" came to my mind, I considered that I was in Bay of Thailand-Indian Ocean, not in Lake Michigan, and in oceans sharks are at home, and we people are intruders, and possible victims of their attacks,, so I slowly swam to shore and out of imagined harms way. I looked at a web recording sharks attacks in Asian countries...and according to this web last fatal shark attack in Thailand occured in 2000. According to same web most other countries around Thailand had more registered attacks than this, Singapore 5,..the last one way back in 1950`s. So could these be true & accurate stats.?......with such long shore line, and so many beaches with so many swimmers, and so many hungry sharks out there in the ocean and in shallower beach waters could that be true that no shark attacks occured in Thai waters since 2000?....or are they not reported when they happen-for fear of panicking tourists and maybe turning them away?
