History: The HTMS Chonburi was sunk on January 17, 1941.
Class:
Successful enough small fast ships for actions in constrained harbour areas. Two first torpedo boats (Trad and Phuket) were ordered to CRDA in 1934, remaining 7 ships under the 1935 program.

They were designed on base of Italian Spica class torpedo boat, being as though their moderated version. 76mm artillery was delivered by Vickers-Armstrong for unification of an ammunition with already commissioned ships. On an TTs arrangement ships reminded German WWI-era torpedo boats: 2 twin banks were installed on centre line and 2 single TTs were installed aside behind a forecastle break. As well as the majority of Italian-built ships, on trials they exceeded designed speed: in particular, Phuket shown 32.34kts at 10000hp. Hull numbers were 11-13, 21-23, 31-33.
Nationality:
Thailand is a Southeast Asian country. It's known for tropical beaches, opulent royal palaces, ancient ruins and ornate temples displaying figures of Buddha. In Bangkok, the capital, an ultramodern cityscape rises next to quiet canalside communities and the iconic temples of Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the Emerald Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Kaew).
