slapout Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I guess the caretaker foreign minister does not consider 500 boats and crews being banned from the area around Indonesia as Thai, Indonesian, relationship.I wonder who dresses, packs this boys lunch and ensures he gets to the office each day?

Chang_paarp Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Some 500 Thai trawlers have been kept ashore after Indonesia closed its waters in response to the March 9 fatalities. Mr Surapong said he was confident that the case would not affect Thailand’s relationship with Indonesia. They are not Thai, you need to communicate with the Indos in Indonesian. That the Indonesian government allow 500 Thai boats to fish their waters amazes me. Provincial Police Region 9 Deputy Commissioner Pol Maj Gen Chawalit Sawaengpuet, who heads the investigation team, said the trawler and crew involved in the incident left Thailand without going through the required immigration check. He said the police were investigating to confirm that the fishing boat may have illegally used the rights of boat named Sor Nattaya 7 to enter Indonesian waters for fishing. The non-Thai crew would be charged with illegal entry, he said. I they think that saying someone has let their boat be used for something illegal without being very hard to identify these politicians are as stupid as think everyone else is. Blaming someone else is not going to wash with people from "other countries" does not work with other countries. Again Thai ways do not work with other countries. I note they did not mention the usual suspects when pointing at another country in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Luk Mhee Posted March 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2014 “The non-Thai crew would be charged with illegal entry, he said.” What a relief this must be for the non-Thai crew, freedom at last, for the slaves who have been forced to work under horrendous conditions on these boats. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluespunk Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) "Mr Surapong said he was confident that the case would not affect Thailand’s relationship with Indonesia." I don't think you get to decide that mate. "Provincial Police Region 9 Deputy Commissioner Pol Maj Gen Chawalit Sawaengpuet, who heads the investigation team, said the trawler and crew involved in the incident left Thailand without going through the required immigration check." Yeah, right, I bet they didn't [note heavy sarcasm]. "He said the police were investigating to confirm that the fishing boat may have illegally used the rights of boat named Sor Nattaya 7 to enter Indonesian waters for fishing." How convenient for the authorities, it's a mystery boat. Who'd have thought it? "The non-Thai crew would be charged with illegal entry, he said." Those foreigners again, always giving Thailand a bad name. Edited March 26, 2014 by Bluespunk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmart Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Another example of lawless behavior and deflection of responsibility. I hope Indonesia holds the Thai "Feet to the fire" on this incident. RIP to the Indinesian Sailors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noitom Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Too bad the Indonesians didn't capture them in Indonesian water. They must have a lot of information about Thai illegal shipping workers. If Thais told them to kill anyone they encounter, it will be a nice incident for the Thais, ordering the assassination of two Indonesian navy officers.

Wombat6 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Indonesia should open its waters to Thai vessels, It's a given fact that all fish in the Gulf swam to the Indonesian archipelago. Thau fish are too small to swim that far. It is about time the Thai fishing industry looked to the future and brought in some regulations to control the mesh size of nets, escape openings in nets for Turtles, Dolphins etc. and catch limits on endangered species. I hope indonesia doesn't open their waters otherwise in no time there will be litttle fish left and where will fisherman go then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope Indonesia tell him to go <removed> himself and keep their waters off limits to all thai boats. Australia had a problem with Indonesian boats illegally fishing in its waters. They fixed the problem ....Patrol Boats arrested these boats, towed them to Australia. Jailed the Captains and crews and burnt the boats. The Chileans tried to fish Australian waters for Patagonian Toothfish and were detected. An Australian Warship was dispatched and finally caught a large Trawler which had fled towards Africa. It was towed back to Fremantle (Western Australia), the catch was sold and the Trawler was confiscated and sold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So the Thai police reckon this boat slipped away without being processed by Immigration and they say the crew was a bunch of foreigners. But if it wasn't inspected by immigration, how do they know the crew.... oh, never mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
