Iranians to board flight MH370.

It almost made the news again as Phuket and the
Andaman Sea were included in the search area.

But the story of the week down there is clearly not MH370
but the shock pictures of a foreigner

Well locals were up in arms that a foreigner had killed the
shark. This is in a country which has won world notoriety for its trade in
endangered species and destroyed most of its forests.

“We just received this awful pictures, it happened yesterday
in Kata Noi beach. In the spirit of education, please share these photos and we
appreciate all support from everyone who continue to raise the awareness of our
Sharks and marine environment!” – read the editorial on Go Eco Phuket.
