120nm SW of Cape Ca Mau would put the aircraft around IGARI - BITOD joining M765 - coincides with the handoff from Lumpur to HoChiMin. Water depth around there is 50-60m give or take so recovery won't be so difficult (compared to say Adam Air years back). Apparently water in flow/out flow from the Gulf of Thailand isn't that fast so drift isn't a major issue either. Based on that, wreakage will be reasonably contained depending on the sea state. There's a gas-rig platform in the area (Bunga Kekwa A), who knows some survivors might be lucky.
