Helicopter Charter

Featured Replies

I have been asked to see if there is any chance of getting a helicopter for a few days ?It is needed to fly from Samui to the mainland. 2 maybe 3 days. Any ideas people ? Money is no object. Cheers :D

none yet but there may be a robinson in our future.

We looked at this two or three years ago for a client. Could find nothing local. Bangkok at the time was the nearest and you have to pay for the repositioniing of the helicopter as well. They are not cheap.

If you find a local helicopter, I would have some doubts about the safety/maintenance of the chopper

You have to get one from the mainland.

These people had one in Phuket. Might still be there

(Looks like the same chopper)

and one has just flown over my house headjng towards BKK - Spooky or what? Haven't seen one for yonks, get this post and one appears out of the blue.

I am impressed H2O Dunc :o

You are right a helicopter just departed it's on the way to Uthapao. It's used for crew changing oil workers to the rig.

If you want to see a rig there's one being towed past to the east of Samui present position Lat N 09deg 47.2 Long E 100deg 49.8 should be about 30 to 40 nm away.

Cheers guys. The Phuket based one is giving me a quote. Just trying to get them a nice speedboat for the week to ferry them to Koh Tao every day and job complete. 10 days diving etc is going to end up costing them about 5 million baht. :o How the other half live. ;) Lets see how big a tip they leave :D

Go to the hospital BigC - the forum would not be the same without you here.

Take care and get yourself sorted
