Yes, with papers.

Yes, with papers.

With Papers:what u mean?

All merchant vessel officers who operate on international vessels require certification in accordance with STCW-2010 (Google it ). It allows lesser qualified officers to be employed in a higher rank on smaller tonnage vessels. Thailand is a signatory to this international convention and all their officers should be certificated according to their rank and the size of the vessel they are employed on in accordance with the convention.

Short answer: Yes, with the appropriate STCW-2010 certification
