ONE of seven young Australians injured in a horror boat crash in Thailand almost didn't board the vessel because she had "a bad feeling" that something might happen.
Hairdresser Chloe Bucknell said yesterday she was lucky to be alive after the 40-seat speedboat she was in collided head-on with a similar vessel off the resort island of Koh Phangan on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old, from Bayview on Sydney's northern beaches, was on her way with three friends to a full moon party on the island as part of a two-week Thai trip. Up to 40 people, including Ms Bucknell, her three friends and three other Australians, were injured in the crash.
From her bed in Bandon International Hospital in Samui, Ms Bucknell said: "We all had a bad feeling about it but thought `We're here now, we might as well go'."
