Also, around Thai airports you could
stumble upon Tom Claytor, on which National Geographic made a
wonderful video special when he was flying in Africa (more than 10 yrs
ago). You can find more details herewww.claytor.comHe's usually
based here I guesshttp://www.thaiflyingclub.com/which is half an
hour driving from Pattaya. Onwww.thaiflyingclub.comthere are a lot
of useful local resources.


I was in Thailand in June and while I could not manage to do any
soaring (family commitments...) I did meet up with Tom Claytor at
Thai Flying Club. I gave him a BFR! He is a great guy, a pleasure
to fly with, and the flying club is one of the nicest I have
ever seen.
