Urges the Royal Thai Navy to give importance to the recovery of HMS Sukhothai.

Parliament, MPs move forward Clarifying Just Max Thai documents Rescue of the Royal Sukhothai Ship Must pass through America only Failure to comply with the agreement will affect future weapons purchases. Ready to urge the Navy to give more importance to this. Mr. Chayaphon Sathondee, MP for Bangkok, Progressive Party, as spokesman for the committee considering the budget for the year 2024, spoke about the salvage of the HTMS Sukhothai, saying that he would like to remind the Navy for the second time of the importance and urgency of Submitting a report on accidents and facts that occurred regarding the HTMS Sukhothai The documents he brought were documents from the agency that keeps an eye on all equipment traded between Thailand and the United States. 'When Thailand stops using American equipment, it must submit a report to the Just Mag Thai agency. Even if the purpose of use is changed, a report must be submitted as well. which will have standards and measures for taking care of all his weapons and equipm ent As for the HTMS Sukhothai that sank We must submit a factual report to Just Magthai. for him to report back to the government in the United States again. He has demanded this for the second time. The document is dated December 1, 2023, which means that the Navy has not explained the facts to Just Max Thai. Even though it is a duty according to the contract Therefore, I would like the Navy to help expedite this because the inspection report has not yet revealed anything,' Mr. Chayaphon said. Mr. Chayaphon said that the report he asked for when discussing the budget in Agenda 1 has not yet been received as well. Yesterday (Jan. 17), he asked questions to the Navy Commander. The commander of the navy responded that it would be the most urgent matter or it was an urgent agenda of the navy. which the Navy said it would expedite since last year But it should be accelerated faster than this. I'd say it's impossible to just accelerate. And what information must be disclosed or at least provide a clear timeline f or when the report will be completed? 'Just Mag Thai warns that the salvage of the Royal Sukhothai ship Unable to lend to the general public Borrowers must first be certified and approved by the United States government. Therefore, we are currently looking for someone to sign a contract to salvage the ship. Even if we can find it, But if you haven't talked to America yet, it means that the person you found may have to leave. Therefore, it is an important checkpoint that makes the recovery of the Royal Sukhothai ship difficult again. I'm not sure how closely the Navy talks with America. Even though there is a standard of people who can come to salvage the Royal Sukhothai ship. Finally, Just Magthai addresses issues important to the future weapons and equipment of the Thai military. that if we do not comply with the agreement, it will affect all arms trading between Thailand and America in the future So I want the Navy to say that this is an important matter. And I want to quickly find answers for society soon er,' Mr. Chayaphon said. Source: Thai News Agency
