Michael, thanks for sharing this trip, it brought back some happy memories of my holiday in Phuket in 2010. I flew with Khun Suchard (Robert) when the Airpark was still in it's infancy - we flew his Zenair CH701 around Phuket island - doors off! A few days later we flew it to Krabi International airport, enjoying the stunning scenery of Phang Nga Bay and around the Tiger Temple atop the kast hill near Krabi. We went pretty early in the morning, before it got too hot and thermic. Great fun and amazing views!

The Airpark clubhouse - one of the nicest I've ever been to!

Booking the CH701 Zenair in to Krabi International - we were the only aircraft at the airfield! The previous heavy metal jets had already left.

I just changed the URL for the Phuket report.

Three weeks before my Thai validation expired I applied for its renewal.
CAAT has repeated their request for verification by Transport Canada. This delay means it is unlikely I will fly in Thailand again.
