Why do all these contracts have to be so secretive.what was the name of the last contractors that failed and were paid,who paid them and how much and are there any wheels in motion to recover the money as they failed to fulfill the recovery of the boat.money just thrown away and they don't even have to answer about the whole balls up so far.it seems the saying the buck stops here doesn't apply to Thailand where it's just swept under the carpet.just the headline is enough...governor breaches silence on new salvage team.

Why not hire companies at "No cure no pay" base? That's very common in ships businesses.

How about announcing it is part of "Green Thailand" and just leave on the bottom as an artificial reef? Oh, no kickbacks....

I would have thought that Thailand with its long coastline would have at least one company capable of doing the job rather than contracting out to Singapore.
