The Navy Chief emphasized the joint discussion among the three service chiefs on integrating joint operations amid personnel changes and the adoption of technology. He reaffirmed that the Navy still controls the area, closely monitors developments, and is advancing the border fence construction according to plan.
On 3 August 2026 at the National Museum of the Royal Barge, Admiral Thadawut Thadpitakkul, Chief of Naval Staff (Navy Chief), described the joint meeting of the three service chiefs as a routine annual exercise requiring each service to coordinate operational plans for joint execution. While obstacles are normal, efforts are underway to adjust, particularly due to personnel rotations during transition periods and to implement operational principles aligned with technology to maximize effectiveness.
Regarding areas under the Navy's responsibility, overall there is nothing concerning. After his visit to Pong Nam Ron district, Chanthaburi province, everything remains under our control with well-prepared personnel and equipment, and ongoing monitoring of movements. Meanwhile, border fence construction progresses as planned, with officials coordinating in certain areas where discussions are necessary to ensure smooth advancement without obstacles. We are fully capable of carrying out these operations.
