snoop1130 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 BANGKOK (NNT) - Six bodies of HTMS Sukhothai sailors were transported to their base in Sattahip district of Chonburi province on Thursday (Dec 22), while the hunt for 23 more continued for the fourth day. A Royal Thai Naval C-130 transport aircraft from Wing 5 in Prachuap Khiri Khan province landed at U-Tapao airport, with navy commander Adm Choengchai Chomchoengpaet leading a solemn ceremony to return each Navy officer to their base. Once they arrived at the destination, the coffins, covered in the national flag, were transported by convoy to the Sattahip Naval Crematorium for the royally subsidized bathing and chanting ceremonies. According to a report, Prime Minister Gen. Prayuth Chan-o-cha, who was in Songkhla, Phathalung, and Chiang Rai provinces to discuss government assistance, has also been scheduled to visit the Navy’s operations center in Prachuap Khiri Khan province to further discuss assistance and provide moral support to those affected by the incident. The HTMS Sukhothai, with 105 people on board, capsized in strong waves off Bang Saphan on Sunday evening. Four additional ships have been deployed to lead the search and rescue operations. They are focusing on regions in the Gulf of Thailand, which are believed to be the most likely locations where winds and waves carried the remaining crewmen after being ordered to evacuate the HTMS Sukhothai when it began to take on water and subsequently sank.
