Wow, I can't imagine us being lumped in with jet skis.  How on earth can
people be annoyed by kayaks Ralph?

Jet skis were banned last January here in Phuket.  However, they are still
around.  There is no law enforcement here and the jet ski boys simply don't
care what the "authorities" say.  There are dozens of accidents every year
and even some deaths thanks to jet skis.  Thankfully, the jet skis hang out
around the more popular beaches... places where I don't want to paddle
anyway.

Cheers,
Dave
