Major revision needed
The article was created based on information from the French perspective, which contained the mistaken inclusion of the Sri Ayudhya and an extra torpedo boat in the battle. Most English-language sources repeat this mistake, in effect over-emphasising the French victory as they were (incorrectly) regarded as very outnumbered. Some of these details had been corrected, but most of the text hadn't been modified accordingly, and none of the article body is cited to a reliable source. The article needs to be thoroughly reworked to present facts from both sides as well as the discrepancies. It should also discuss the resulting differing analyses, with Western sources describing it as a decisive French victory, while Thai sources insist that the French failed to strategically achieve what they set out to. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:07, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
I've added a note that explains the argument for both sides, but parts of the body article may still need some revision. 67.232.21.14 (talk) 16:46, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Inflated Thai Strength?
The article lists a Thai force of 2 coastal defense ships, 12 torpedo boats, 2 avisos, 4 submarines, and 2 minelayers, but describes action involving a single Thai coastal defense ship and two torpedo boats. Something's clearly wrong, but I'm not sure what - though I do notice that the listed Thai strength is larger than [wiki pages] claim for the size of the entire Thai navy during this war.
