After an animal, which some suspect was a shark, bit a child at a Phuket beach on this week, one official thinks sharks could be a cool new tourist attraction.

Well..that is a positive thinking. They could do something like what is being done in Pulau Paya, Langkawi, Malaysia. Visitors can view huge sharks coming at a particular feeding time. They were naturally trained to come for feeding. Even can watch baby sharks along the shore swimming between visitors legs unharmed.

Land sharks, water sharks, the land of suprises. No one wants to play with a bull shark or a tiger shark. One in 2020 Phangna, and about 3 1/2 years ago had a suspected bull shark bite in Hua Hin. 2015 Karon beach again, and that is not all. There are more shark attacks bites than they really want in the news here. Predominately the bull shark and close to the shore.

Clearly this guy does not swim. Using sharks for a tourist attraction might be something a dive centre does on a remote island but crowded tourist beaches...SEND the man a copy of JAWS THE MOVIE.  How do these morons get heard, seriously!!!

Works for the S. Africans and Aussies.  Suspect the idea of charging tourists to wade around in shallow, murky, turbid water in the surf zone, waiting to get nailed by a Bull Shark, wouldn't be very appealing, though. 

On the other hand, a lucrative idea in the First Responder/Trauma Training niche.

Hard part is getting one of the students to volunteer as the victim/patient.   Maybe offer free beer while they wait. 😉
