Phuket Governor Phakaphong Tavipatana announced the news today (Nov 13) at a meeting at Phuket Provincial Hall.

 

“A 1,200-tonne,100-metre-long floating crane accompanied by a 34-metre-long tugboat has already arrived Krabi province,” Gov Phakaphong explained earlier today.

 

The boat and crane were to arrive in Phuket after 3pm this afternoon, he said.

No Overstayers On The Phoenix 

Without competent non-Thais the Phoenix will remain where it rests with no end in sight.
So BJ is going to check some visa and WPs ...
Somehow a balancing act ...

Great news that Big Joke is on the job. What it has to do with immigration is anybodies guess. 

This is worthy of some monstrous poster showing glamour boy Big Joke pulling the levers on the crane.

The Chinese should be impressed. As Confucius say.... "Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day".

Well regardless of WPs etc., and given the lack of any highly professional comment or action by the agencies that should be taking care of this seems that this guy does get things moving. 

 

“Tomorrow, Maj Gen Surachet Hakpan will inspect the site of the wreck and check the process of salvage.”

As the schedule has past the five days he quoted, might the salvage team be charged with some sort of "overstay"?

''Which end is up''.??

Keep them on standby sure to be another soon????

Thursday's headline

 

Big Joke dons Thai Navy's state of the art diving suit to personally inspect the wreckage of the Phoenix after yet another salvage attempt fails. Big Joke declares the Phoenix to be free of illegal immigrants, overstayers or dark-skinned scammers at a 3am press conference.

 

 

like everything in Thailand som chai says he can do

 

there is only one way to raise this vessel and that is to employ someone that knows what they doing, they do realise that air is lighter than water

 

It could be a "big joke" if it wasn't out of respect for the many lives lost already - there really is nothing funny about any of it

 

RIP

Charged with tarnishing the image of Big Joke.

I think there's one Chinese still stuck in the boat and is on overstay.i don't know how bj gets about but my guessing is a long range jet helicopter.im just waiting for the day it's announced his mug is going to be printed on the back of the new 1,000b notes.

Hope the bigwigs will leave this crew alone to get the job done there efforts would be better spent organizing inspections crew certification and reviewing the structural integrity of all passenger carrying vessels in Thailand so this doesent happen again

Hmm. Who was it said that stupidity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different result?

I quick squiz at the photo in the OP, that looks like some beam/stern-mounting A-frames and divers cages so they have a more stable and sustainable work platform. The gas bottles on the other flatbed lorry aren't scuba tanks so possibly the air reservoir needed to sustain the pressure in air bags used to assist the float and lift. Possibly a large compressor in front of the left-hand container? I have faith in human nature to deliver what's needed here... eventually.

This is fast becoming a BIG JOKE, what has this got to do with immigration other than the other Big Joke getting more media attention?

You will have a situation where the salvage crew will be stopped from doing their job just so the joke can get a good photo op.

There maybe some with oxygen tanks that were getting a tow down below

I'll supervise the salvage for USD$1 million...plus expenses. 

No western volunteers boat will be a icon ship wreck

Raising the Phoenix? No problem...just one more miracle in the ongoing saga of Saint Joker...

 

Joke will confirm. Ruff seas with his high level maritime training lol.

I'm waiting for the day when it is announced that he will head a political party and become PM.

But more on topic here, he does seem to be a great problem solver. I wouldn't underestimate his contribution to the problem of rising the Phoenix just yet.

Very likely. But why are you even surprised?

If it wasn't for him personally issuing work permits (or maybe ignoring the issue completely?) the salvage crew wouldn't be here, so they should be permanently indebted to him.

Step up with your Thai thinking!

Myself i think he's just another idol for the Thais.i would like to question his knowledge of the sea and skills in salvage.hope,luck and an idol are the essence of Thai life
