PHUKET:-- Navy experts called in to identify the suspect object on Nai Yang Beach that was initially thought to be a torpedo were unable to X-ray the object today (Oct 17) as planned due to the rising tide.

 

Maj Tanchaiyan Tantiamnuoy from the Royal Thai Navy Mine Squadron and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team of experts from the Naval Ordnance Department base in Chonburi inspected the object at about 2pm.

 

However, the officers had to wait for the arrival of a handheld device brought in to X-ray the object to make sure it was safe to remove from the popular tourist beach.

But, but, but it was a harmless float. Someone paid 500B to get a desk tag that reads EOD

 

 

They spent days messing about with it,when all it needed was

a look at the back end to see if it had a propellor.now if it's harmless

as they say, why do they need to x-ray it before they open it.?

regards worgeordie 

Just blow the bloody thing up and be done with it.

Heaven forbid someone looks at a tide table.

If the so-called navy experts are fooled by the rising tide, just imagine the f=++ ups theres gonna be when they get the subs.

Sailor why is that submarine not in the water, ohh sorry sir the tide went out.

Laughable !
