Cambodians Defect From Gunboat After Mayaguez Claim
In Bangkok 10 Cambodian crew members who defected to Thailand gave conflicting statements about their vessel’s involvement in the Mayaguez seizure. They first claimed participation, then denied it, as the gunboat arrived at Sattahip port flying a white flag. It docked briefly before anchoring offshore, with reports of about 30 Vietnamese aboard. The boat’s location remained unclear, but Thai officials kept it at a navy port near U Tapao Air Base and sought to avoid diplomatic embarrassment amid talks with Cambodia’s new neighbors.
