July 5, 201511 yr Is it a new photo? Nok Air have skidded off a few runways in Thailand. So have Thai. Trang springs to mind.
July 5, 201511 yr Incident: Nok Air B738 at Trang on Aug 6th 2013,runway excursion during rejected takeoff http://avherald.com/h?article=466790ad They do a little excursion on the runways sometimes In this case seems it was an aborted take off attempt in heavy weather. Heavy on the brakes and slid off the runway. I remember the TG plane stuck in the fields at Khon Kaen when doing a failed turn on the tarmac. Embarrasing Edited July 5, 201511 yr by KhunBENQ
July 5, 201511 yr Author http://www.thai-aviation.net/files/Air_Accidents.pdf Intersting reading ....... scroll to the end for the recent incidents. I live in the south - Nakhonsri, Krabi, Phuket, Trang, Koh Samui, Hadyai, Surat and if I remember correctly even Ranong have all had incidents that I remember and that is only in the south!

July 7, 201511 yr According to the Bangkok Post this happened 6 October 2013 Flight number DD-8610 CNX to Udon Thani. All onboard were safe. Defintely not. This incident involved a Nok Air Saab 340 turboprob. Completely different what is in the opening post, http://avherald.com/h?article=469862b5
July 7, 201511 yr Skidding off a wet runway doesnt happen very often but its not unusual at the smaller thai airports. Its happened a few times at Trang. A plane skidded off into the grass at Chiang Mai about 2 months ago. If theres not a fireball explosion and fatalities they dont get much exposure and are quickly forgotten.
July 7, 201511 yr This is not a good photo but its the Nok Saab at Udon minus the titles and markings after it was damaged in that incident above. Photo was taken from the same flight but now a 737-800 from Chiang Mai to Udon May 2014.
July 8, 201510 yr My favorite incident is where a Thai Airways plane parked on the ground in Paris was hit by a French catering company's food service truck that was bringing in flight meals to the plane. The plane was a Thai International A-380 on the ground in Paris. Sounds like a joke, but it really happened.
