ThailandRyan Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
