Any shark attacks reported in Thailand?

[Deep Blue]

In the history of Thailand has there ever been a reported shark attack in the gulf?

Two proper attacks, neither of them in the Gulf but in the Indian Ocean; so you are much more likely to be killed in a traffic accident, even while diving (google jet ski accident thailand).

Thanks for that. Good to know.

But what about Baracudas?

[Frank Hovis]

Sorry, no idea how many barracudas have been attacked by sharks in the Gulf.

I was at koh Talu a few years ago snorkelling and got the distinct impression I was being stalked by one!! Big bugger kept about 10 m away and circled me! Impressive but a bit scary.

You are more likely to die that way (traffic accident) than any other way in Thailand...

Just remembered this from a long time ago.

Here's a cool site http://www.ocearch.org/ tracking sharks worldwide.

Looks like HHF is in much more danger than we are when taking a dip.

There has been reported only 4 shark attacks in the last 100 years and they were on fishermen. There are no known attacks on divers/scuba or otherwise.

Clever of them to know their friends...and enemies.

No much chance of a shark attack in Thailand because they get caught and are eaten long before they're big enough to attack.

That's about right, in all my years diving here I've only ever seen two sharks, dive in Indo or the Phils and there are hundreds of em!
