On Jan 6, 2018, at 12:30 p.m., the 995 patrol boat of the Navy spotted the bodies of the four missing crew members of the 'Choke Chuchai' and plucked them out of water. Two of them were Thais identified as Rod Supprasert, 58, Pranom Rungruang, 41, and two others Cambodians identified as Wang Soi, 24, and Ko, 39. Rear Admiral Banchob Phodaeng, commander of the First Naval Area, jad dispatched a renaissance plane, a helicopter and a patrol ship to the scene of the accident off Sattahib coast in Chon Buri once he was informed of the accident. The Thai fishing boat was identified as 'Choke Chuchai'. Its precise location when it was hit was latitude 12.3.28 north and longtitude 101.12.10 east, about 38 nautical miles from the Sattahib coast. The crew consisted of five Cambodians and three Thais. Another fishing boat, the 'Suwit Kan Pramong', which happened to be nearby, managed to save one of the Thais and three Cambodians but the other four vanished. Pattaya Harbour officials and the Marine Traffic and Safety Monitoring Centre of the Navy later located the 'Hyderabad' that had hit the fishing boat. The bulkcarrier was shipping coal from Indonesia and left Rayong in the morning. Officials inspected the ship and found a clear trace that it had hit something at its port side bow. The Thai fishing boat owner had filed a complaint with Map Taphut police in Rayong.
