A radar dome and an empty life raft, believed to belong to the ill-fated HTMS Sukhothai, have been found drifting at sea off Chumphon Province by Thai fishermen, as the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) intensifies its air and sea search for the 23 missing crew on the fourth consecutive day today (Thursday).

 

A fisheries official from Lamae district, Ratree Chantharat, informed the district chief officer on Thursday morning that she had received a radio report from the skipper of a trawler that a radar dome had been found drifting at sea, near the border of Lamae and Lang Suan districts, and they expected to tow it to the Lang Suan coast this evening.

 

Another trawler reported the finding of a life raft, with the words “HTMS Sukhothai No 3”, printed on it, between 20 and 30 kilometres from the coast of Lamae district.
