Luggage lost at sea in Thailand – Australian tourist gets compensation after bags swept away on ferry

  • November 26, 2025

Zamparelli wrote in the comment section that she received 50,000 baht ($2727) in compensation from the ferry company.

She had to be very persistent to get the payment, she said.

“Some people didn’t get any compensation, and others also missed their flights home.

“The ferry staff were fully convinced that a suitcase could not be worth more than 20,000 baht when in reality all our belongings would definitely have been around the 100,000 baht range for each of our suitcases,” she wrote in the video’s comment section, according to the Daily Mail.

She said no one else got paid as much as she did, and the only reason she gained compensation is because “we stayed there until the very end, wearing them down”, the outlet reported.
