A tourist on a Chokwimol Tour boat holds a starfish in this photograph she later posted on her Facebook page. Mr Aekkawat told a completely different tale. The man told him bring his identification card and meet him at the park office, Mr Aekkawat said. This caused him great stress, Mr Aekkawat said, and he decided to reveal the truth. He was not a crewman on a tourist boat, just an ordinary rubber tapper who was forced to play along with the lie.
