On March 28th, 2024, Mr. Sutin Klungsang, the Thai Minister of Defense, and relevant agencies visited China to discuss with private sectors and other agencies concerning the procurement of a Thai submarine.
The discussion aimed to evaluate whether the procurement would be advanced or dismissed and its consequences before presenting the matter to the Thai Prime Minister for further deliberation, according to Thai national media.
The matters were under deliberation on the possibility of a frigate instead before pressing the matters to the Thai Prime Minister, according to Thai national media.
However, the Thai government could only wait and see if the Chinese government would take the offer or not and review any legal issues that could arise.
