Amazing indeed. We took two of these, a smaller version of course to cross over to Thailand. It was leaking and we were scooping out water with our hands so we wouldn’t sink. It is easily turn over. Many people have died when the person that was hired to bring them over to Thailand would just tip over the boat and let them drown so he can steal their belongings.

Oh, many secrets that the mighty Mekong River kept and we will never know about. Sorry to ruin your parade with my comment.
