Kayaking Trip: Ao Luk Volunteers in Freak Drought Shocker
Story by 5 week volunteer, Paul J.:
Volunteers with English teaching organisation GVI have come under the spotlight after millions of gallons of water suddenly disappeared from a coastal inlet on Saturday morning.
Sea levels near the village of Bor Tor close to GVI’s Au Luc base in Krabi province dropped by several feet in the space of two hours shortly after 9am, leaving boats grounded and rivers unnavigable.
Witnesses have variously reported tsunamis, waterspouts and underwater explosions, while fisherman are already warning of shortages of seafood.
The phenomenon coincided with a kayaking trip by GVI volunteers, which saw 13 people take to the water during a day off from their teaching duties.
Unconfirmed reports suggest the volunteers “accidentally” splashed water over each other as they paddled during their trip to visit caves spiked with stalactites and stalagmites, and decorated with paintings believed to be more than 3,500 years old.
Kayak tour guide Man ‘The Man’, said: “Yeah, the volunteers were having fun but I don’t think they lost the water. It was a very hot day so I guess the fish must have got thirsty and drunk it all. Either that or it’s been pinched by aliens.”
However, an unnamed informer reported that some 150,000 gallons of water were discovered in a kayak paddled by Laura and Michael, and a similar quantity in those of Faz and Jenny, and Drika and Mai. Further large quantities were apparently smuggled out in their soaked clothes. All six are reported to be helping police with their enquiries.
Their colleagues Dan, Sophie, Alex, Elizabeth, Bella, Abi and PJ were unavailable for comment, believed to be hiding in a local bar.
