The area where the battle took place is near Salak Phet bay. It was
once a battle field between Thailand and French over the dispute about
the eastern territory. On January 17, 1941, Thai Naval force
encountered the French Naval one. As a result, 3 Thai battle ships were
sunk: The Songkhla, The Chonburi, The Thonbburi ships. Some Thai Navies
lost their lives here. Accordingly, that day, each year we hold a
ceremony to commemorate the sacrifice of those navies for the Kingdom
of Thailand.
