Phuket’s Governor Pakkapong Tawaipat headed out to the scene of the salvation operations to recover the Phoenix, the boat that sank on July 5 causing the drowning death of 47 Chinese tourists.

 

The Phuket PR Office says a team of officials, headed up by the new Governor, departed from Chalong Pier on a speed boat at 4pm yesterday to the site of the Phoenix wreckage 19 kilometres south-west of the island  – a trip of about 20 minutes.

 

The salvage operations for Phoenix have become mired in poor arrangements, several unsuccessful attempts and unsuitable weather since operations began several months ago. One contract diver has died during the operations.

He even bought a new shirt for the occasion. Should've bought a pair of Sperry Topsiders to match and borrowed a sailors hat from that ishitan guy.

I worry about the new governor, he always looks like he is not getting enough sleep ????

nice hat. is he a Admiral too?
