Thanyaburi Mac Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Actually, quite a few. Start here, then wander down the www site to the listing of airfields, some of which have clubs. http://thaiflyingclub.com/ Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverSure Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Geez, I wonder if they recognize licenses from Western countries. I've never seen what appears to be obstacles to getting a license. 6 months and all that training at those prices just for a basic private pilot's license? I'm use to the fixed base operator (dealer/ school/repairs etc.) having an incentive to woo new pilots to rent or buy planes, fuel, etc. etc. Cessna gave me all of my books and basic "lap" materials. I had to have 20 hours flying with an instructor before I could solo, and another 20 to get my license, upon of course passing the written and flying tests. I had to have 100 hours and a check ride to fly a turbo single, and 200 hours to test for and get my multi-engine rating. It took me about 30 days to have my single engine private pilot's license, and that was part time. The multi-engine and IFR ratings came later but they weren't any worse. Unless they'd accept a US FAA license and log book, I wouldn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how many Thais could afford to get licensed and to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how many Thais could afford to get licensed and to fly. Plenty could - but as a % of the total population, that is still low. 350K isn't much to some these days....but that is totally another debate.

3SoiDogNight Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 There are flight clubs here that recognize Western pilot's licenses. Flying here is just as expensive as in the U.S. unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
