BANGKOK: The Royal Thai Navy (RTN) and its US counterpart will on Thursday (Feb 22) start their mission to search and decommission hazardous materials on board the ill-fated HTMS Sukhothai (pic), RTN chief Admiral Adung Phan-iam said on Monday (Feb 19).

The mission is part of the light salvage mission by the Thai and US navies in the Gulf of Thailand, where the Sukhothai sank in December 2022 with the loss of 29 crew members. The mission is expected to be concluded on March 14.
