I say Phuket.
I'll have to check my references on this mission. The Chariot was an improved copy of the Italian Low Speed Torpedo. Both Italian and British forces used the weapon to great effect in WWII.
The Germans had a similar weapon that tended to kill the pilot. The Japanese version, the kaiten, was intended to kill the pilot. I have a small collection of books by surviving Kamikaze pilots and Kaiten pilots... an interesting substrain of literature. (they would be guys whose missions were canceled, or subs sunk under them, etc). I wish I knew Japanese, because I am sure there is much more available in that language.
During WWII Japan occupied Thailand along with Burma, Indochina and Malaya, and most of the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia).

They were going to get them and got caught up in red tape. In the end they said "phuket"
Cool, I've dove all over Phuket, but not sure where Dok Mai island is.
