In 2008, these two seemingly powerful warships were supposed to hover around the mouth of the inland river or something, but the Thai government was probably stubborn and sent them to sea to fight the French fleet. As a result, they were all sunk by the French light cruiser la mote-Picquet. Thai gunboat line drawing
