BANGKOK – A floating pirate-themed restaurant capsized in rough seas and was left partially submerged about 2km off Pattaya, Thailand, on Monday evening.
The tourist boat, named Krakenian The Private of Pattaya, was closed at the time because of bad weather.
There were no guests on board, and all staff were safe, reported Bangkok Post.
Ms Prachyaporn Ploymukda, the vessel’s owner, told reporters on Monday night that the boat, with seating capacity for about 100 people, had succumbed to strong winds and high waves in the Gulf of Thailand.
“The rear part of the raft boat sank after being swamped by waves,” she said.
The vessel was turned into a pirate-themed restaurant that also offered squid fishing, music shows and karaoke entertainment last December, she added. THE NATION/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
