Please help to support BangkokJack News through these troubled times... Poor government reaction to the COVID virus has left many, including some who rely upon us, in very difficult positions.
And still we try to deliver the REAL news to you on a daily basis. But this all comes at a cost and as tourism has dried up and with expats going home whenever they can, income streams and ad revenue is also drying up.
And this is why we appeal to our tens of thousands of readers to help out however you can - to keep us independent and opinionated.
Just Bt100 per month makes all the difference and will keep some of us in noodle soup for a day.
Alternatively please click on the advert each time you read a story and that will boost our ad revenue, at no cost to yourself.
Thank you so much to those who already do support us. It means a lot to everyone.
Thai media reported that a giant oceanic manta ray – measuring four to five meters across – had been filmed by a deep sea diving guide in the south of #Thailand.
77koaded said this was very exciting in their headline.
Guide Somporn Kaewmaneechote said he made the film at a depth of 18 meters in 26 meter deep water off Koh Tachai, part of the Similan Islands’ national park in Phangnga.
Giant manta rays are often bigger than the one in the video – they grow to an average of about 22 feet wingspan and can weigh up to 3,000 pounds.
Unless disturbed they generally present no threat to humans. – 77koaded
