rickudon Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 One reason some aircraft (at least those on the edges of airports) is because of debts. If an owner goes bankrupt, the plane is not allowed to leave unless the debts are paid. Parking fees quickly mount up, and older planes get left in limbo - the airport wants the parking fees, so you have to pay them before a plane leaves/get broken up but it is no longer worth the fees!. And in Thailand, debts stay on the balance sheet secured by that scrap, or derelict house ..... never written off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Bill Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 A fuselage from a Thai Airways plane (make unknown) can be seen alongside Route 12 in the northern province of Petchabun between Lomsak and Phitsanulok. It appears to be a restaurant which is now closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rimmer Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2018 Transall C160 in somebody garden just near to Nong Nooch Bangsaray. Rather strange, as far as I am aware Thailand did not operate this type only France; Indonesia; West Germany; South Africa and Turkey. Unable to get any closer to it but looks like it is being beautifully restored as a garden ornament 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAKAPALITA Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Interesting..Fair bet it came from Nam. After the French caused the Vietnam War and lost, they left a few behind that were being serviced and ran away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koh Kred is sort of 3-angular, one east-west stretch one north-south stretch one ...... stretch the plane is on the east-west stretch towards the western end, not far from the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAKAPALITA Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The 747 Aluminium goes for 35 to 50 K $ depending on which country its in. The Engines are the Variable decider sold separately as a rule.Funny thing is why they store so many, yet Cars get sorted for Ali and re cycled everyday.

If its the one I'm thinking of its an ex RTAF Fairchild C-123 Sadly, the right wing of that one is now broken and sagging down, hopefully someone will fix it up. The restaurant behind it used to be quite good, but I haven't stopped there for a while. Just up the road from this, on the left hand side heading away from Saraburi, near Muak Lek, there's what looks like a junkyard with a few aircraft, including a small helicopter and these two taken from Google Earth. There's also a bunch of ex military vehicles. I've often thought of stopping there, but there's no sign saying what the place is for, and I'm usually speeding past having just come up the hill. Maybe next time. I'd love to turn my front yard into something similar. Edited October 24, 2018 by ballpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are decorative add-ons. The rest of the plane looks like a genuine Transall C-160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tso310 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Can I suggest that it is not a Transal C-160 but a CASA CN-235. Its those 6 blades that made me think it might not be a C-160 although there may have been a prop upgrade but I could ot find any ref to one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rimmer Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2019 Not sure what this is all about but someone who knows absolutely nothing about original aircraft color schemes has been let loose with cans of paint and brushes on these old aircraft. They are located on the on the northbound carriageway of the 331 Highway about three clicks south of the Silver Lakes turnoff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 There is also what could be a 737 with a Star Alliance logo on the side. The demon painter is just getting started on that one so don't hold your breath for an original paint scheme Not a derelict aircraft but among all the other military stuff on the site tucked away at the back is this incredible old Chinese two handed fire pump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Saw this UH1A a couple of days back at the same 'air park' place just off the 331 highway northbound before the turn off to Silver Lakes. Looks to be original ex US army and colors, hope they don't don't paint it some garish color scheme like they have with the other aircraft there. Some what look like bullet holes in the fuselage and canopy but doubt they are real as they don't come out the other side, also some holes on the tail fins are on the top of the fins. The logo on the front is first air cav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
