web site visitors to communicate with current SBSA members regarding any questions about Swift Boat configurations and their operations, association activities, reunions, the newsletter, items in the Ship's Store, locating Swift sailors, or information about joining the association
You are not the only only one that has observed Royal Thai Navy
Swift Boats and other patrol boats in recent trips to that lovely
country. Here is an image of two Swift Boats tied up to a pier near
a popular resturant in Bangkok, and also an image of some PBRs
docked on the Mekong near Nakon Phanom in northeast Thailand
A retired US sailor in Bangkok has approached a current Royal Thai Navy
Captain who has indicated that he may be able to put us in contact with the
personnel that operate and maintain these boats. The Captain indicates that
both the Swifts and the PBRs are used for regular patrols of the Mekong,
which forms the border between Thailand and Laos
If you know of additional contacts with Thai nationals that are associated
with these boats, please let me know. email addr: rbshirley@pcf45.com
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated
Thank you for your interest and the question ... Bob S
