I had no idea that there was private plane ownership here. May the gentleman RIP and a speedy recovery to the passenger.  Is there an equivalent to the NTSB that would investigate the crash and the cause?

I had a friend years here years ago that owned small plane in Hua Hin. 

 

Could have been his wife owned it, but he flew it.
