Aircraft Carrier HTMS Chakri Naruebet at the Thai Naval Base at Sattahip, a place from which it rarely strays, due to lack of funding. Is used more often to transport the Thai Royal Family, which probably makes it the worlds most expensive Royal Yacht.

The only such vessel in South East Asia. Large enough when standing alongside, but it has the distinction of being the worlds smallest aircraft carrier, at 11500 tons.
Complete with shipboard fence.. HFF!

Thailand. Nice place to chill out for a while, if chill out is the correct phrase, considering the temperature's in the high 90s.

Chaweng Beach. Koh Samui. This spent most of the afternoon cruising up and down the beach with a loudspeaker on maximum volume promoting a Thai boxing match for that evening in the town of Chaweng. After a couple of hours myself, and a few others, would quite happily have torpedoed the thing out of the water.
