It was just reported on Friday, 21 June, by the Aviation Herald that,

 

“A Bangkok Airways Airbus A319-100, registration HS-PGN performing flight PG-962 from Singapore (Singapore) to Koh Samui (Thailand), departed Singapore and landed on Koh Samui about 80 minutes after departure.

The aircraft was unable to continue its schedule and is still on the ground in Koh Samui.

Thailand's AIB reported the aircraft suffered substantial damage to the radome as well as fuselage frames 1-3 affecting structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft. The occurrence was rated an accident and is being investigated. The phase of the flight, during which the damage occurred, is so far unknown.”

No, I think the one you are talking about, was an Austrian Airlines flight. (See picture below), but believe this maybe similar sort of damage, as radome is just another name for nose cone.

 

This Bangkok Airways flight may have hit hail or birds, but very little details available. The flight tracking, ADSB history, used on websites, stops as it enters the Gulf of Thailand
