At 1.30pm on the afternoon of June 4 a Sri Lankan tourist, thirty-seven year old Aloysius Nirmalarajan, was killed in a parasailing accident in Pattaya Bay.
Witnesses claim that after about only two minutes in the air the wind seemed to suddenly disappear because Mr Nirmalarajan dropped and crashed into the boat. He was knocked unconscious and later died from his injuries.
The boat, a Sathaporn SK7, operated by the Siam Local Co, was being driven by forty-eight year old Chamlong Yoosawad who is a naval officer.
City officials say that accidents such as these are harming the image of Pattaya and a meeting has been called to discuss new guidelines that will be implemented in an attempt to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities to foreign tourists in the Bay.
