Pointless really when there is no-one here able to pilot them properly.......

I'm sure China will volunteer some J-20 5th generation stealth jet fighter pilots.

Imagine Thai airbase control tower to pilot:

"Why is the pilot leaving Thai airspace in the direction of China?"

If Thailand really wants a plane, the Saab Gripen is excellent, and far more affordable. 

They have/had 12 already.

Costly…

 

Every hour the F-35 is on the air, it costs around $36,000, which is almost 50 percent more than what an F-16 costs to fly. However, Lockheed Martin, the plane's manufacturer, has claimed that it can drop the operating cost to $25,000 per hour within four years, but to do so demands an exclusive maintenance contract.Dec 7, 2564 BE
