Kenny202 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I read somewhere last week a US Navy boat due to dock at Pattaya this week. And I saw story this afternoon saying because the big cruise ship got turned away, the Navy assumed they would also be turned away, made no contact with Thai port authorities and continued on to Cambodia? Sounds a bit far fetched? Is it true? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best for Americans to take heed. I could be wrong but I haven't heard anything I'd consider positive out of Cambodia leadership in quite a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Over the years they have really restricted where they can go. It started with Soi 6, now I heard no WS is allowed. I think the comment they stay on the ship most of the time is pretty much true nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may anchor aways out or possibly Laem Chabang. . yes the sailors have come to Pattaya often. Their presence is impossible to miss, but no US Navy boat is going to DOCK in Pattaya unless it's a dinghy.

johng Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 They used to anchor in Pattaya bay then smaller boats would ferry the sailors onto Pattaya beach where there where banners and a welcoming committee ( of bar girls) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not confusing the US Navy ship with the US cruise ship that wasn't allowed to dock in Thailand but went to Cambodia where they were allowed by the Cambodian government? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US Cruise ship you refer to, MV Westerdam ,is a Dutch vessel and should be moored in Sihanoukville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) According to article arriving this month. Highly restricted shore leave. The 39th annual Cobra Gold military exercise will be held from February 24 to March 6 with 4,000 US personnel, three navy ships and one commercial vessel. https://thethaiger.com/news/pattaya/pattaya-welcomes-4000-us-soldiers-for-cobra-gold-in-february Edited February 13, 2020 by DJ54 Added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebluewater Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Cobra Gold has been diminishing in scale and scope for many years running. So much so I don't know why it even gets much of a mention anymore. It's mostly window dressing with some flowery statement as to "coordinating responses against natural disasters" or some such. As a real military operation it has all but ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
