rebo Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 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 ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post madmitch Posted November 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2018 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smedly Posted November 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2018 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 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Tug Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

colinneil Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
