An Australian tourist in Thailand was shocked to find her luggage being swept out to sea due to 鈥渋ncompetent crew members鈥.
Alice Zamparelli shared footage online that showed several suitcases floating away as the ferry moved through large waves.
She captioned the video 鈥渓ost all our luggage (because) of incompetent crew members鈥.
It is understood that the crew did not properly secure the luggage, and the rough seas between the islands of Koh Tao and Koh Samui caused the bags to fall overboard, the Daily Mail reported.
Zamparelli wrote in the comment section that she received 50,000 baht ($2727) in compensation from the ferry company.
She had to be very persistent to get the payment, she said.
鈥淪ome people didn鈥檛 get any compensation, and others also missed their flights home.
鈥淭he ferry staff were fully convinced that a suitcase could not be worth more than 20,000 baht when in reality all our belongings would definitely have been around the 100,000 baht range for each of our suitcases,鈥 she wrote in the video鈥檚 comment section, according to the Daily Mail.
She said no one else got paid as much as she did, and the only reason she gained compensation is because 鈥渨e stayed there until the very end, wearing them down鈥, the outlet reported.
