When I was last in Koh Phangan I was told by Farang that had lived there a while, that 'some' foreign tourists had been shot by Thai nationals for whatever reason; maybe some stupid argument or maybe not so stupid (not trying to imply this happens regularly). Apparently this is mostly 'covered up' by Thai government in order not to frighten off potential tourists? Apon my return to Bangkok I asked two Thai friends of mine if this was true - they agreed!

Could it not be a similar situation with shark attacks? I find it hard to believe that in the whole of the Thai ocean borders no attack has been recorded since 2000?? Something to be considered me thinks ......
