rooster59 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Wife of Air Force ‘top gun’ falls to her death By The Nation The wife of a “top gun” Air Force fighter-jet pilot fell to her death from the ninth floor of a Bangkok hotel’s car park on Saturday morning in what police believe was a suicide. The Huay Kwang police station was informed of the death at a well-known hotel on Ratchadapisek road in Din Daeng district at 10.30am. The body of Chanthawan Thamwichai, 46, was found on the ground between the hotel and an adjacent shopping mall. Chanthawan was the wife of Group Captain Chakkrit Thamwichai, a Royal Air Force “top gun” fighter-jet pilot. Chanthawan’s Mazda CX-5 SUV was found on the hotel car-park’s ninth-floor. Her shoes, car keys and a suicide letter were found next to the concrete wall of the car park, which she apparently climbed over. The letter was hand-written and confirmed by her family.

Does anyone know what the criteria is to qualify as a 'top gun' I believe the term Top Gun refers to the American fighter school program, these pilots teach at this school. Something about strike fighter tactics. We had a couple in Saudi who taught the locals fighter tactics, though they were Brits, I assume the same term would apply. so in essence a Thai pilots Thai teacher.

I don't believe that's what I said, either in actual words or inference. I'm not aware that the Thai AF has an internal training selection and competition program remotely similar to the U.S. origins of the real Top Gun program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esso49 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, sanemax said: You are saying that all Thais are not any good at anything ? They have many attributes that set them above most. It must be said that not all Thai males fall into this category, just most 1) Total irresponsibility for the family 2) Lack of respect for their wifes as they openly have Mia Nois 3) Irrepressibility to admit when they are wrong 4) inability to control a motor vehicle in a safe manner need I go on ? However back to the subject matter, it would be interesting to see the contents of the "suicide note" as it would not surprise me in the least if item 2 above was mentioned so hence severe depression was the issue that drove this lady to her end. Anyway RIP Edited September 2, 2018 by Esso49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Why do Asians take off their shoes before committing suicide? That would be the last thing on my mind if I was about to kill myself. "Oops, hold on, I have to take my shoes off first."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty unpleasant Exactly and the majority of the comment related to the bereaved husband and his alleged status in the Thai airforce. Compassion for a fellow human who was so depressed that ending her life in a terrible way seems to be a secondary consideration, RIP madam, I am sorry you needed to do this.
