I did a search for flying and nothing come up so I am now posting a question!
Are there any members who are part of any flying clubs here in Thailand? if so whereabouts and what type of flying? do your clubs have websites?
Weather here is great for flying, i'd love to get back into it, any help would be great.

Florida and South Africa are probably the cheapest and there are some good ones in Australia.
Thai Flying Club
The Thai Flying Club is located in Bang Phra, Chonburi, Thailand which is about 30 minutes North of Pattaya. The club has over 300 hundred members with over 40 aircraft. The aircraft include Cessnas, various Mooneys, various Socata, multiple Pipers, several Grummans, a Robin, a Grob 109, an O-1 Bird Dog, and most recently an Extra 300! The club currently offers for rent and instruction Cessna 150's, a Piper Cherokee 140, and a Grumman Cheetah. In the near future, we hope to offer one high-performance single-engine aircraft as well. Instructors are available for local flights (training or just sightseeing) as well as cross country flights.
The Thai Flying Club offers:
.
.Flight Instruction
.Aircraft Rental
.Aerial Tours (with instructor)
.Solo Flight (after licensing and check out)
.Cross Country Flight (Dual and Solo)
.Private Pilot Course (ICAO Standard)
The Bang Phra Airfield is convenient to Bangkok as well as Pattaya and despite what you may think, flying in Thailand is easy and not very expensive. A Cessna 150 rents for approximately $65 per hour. Granted, it's not the "fire it up and fly away" freedom of the USA but it can be done and in a matter of days, you can have solo privileges. The club has recently received approval from the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Department of Aviation to be a private pilot flight school. The school is certified under ICAO regulations. If you have time, you can get your private pilot license with us!
There is inexpensive lodging and nearby and the beach is less than 45 minutes away. The club is located within five minute of three world class golf courses. There's a lot of scenery and history to enjoy in Thailand. Why not see it from the air?
For further information or reservations, please phone or fax the club at 66-38-777-348.
Hope to see you soon!

Don't know if this helps, but there was a big article in a flying magazine in the UK last month about flying in Thailand (I think it was "Today's Pilot"). I have it at home in UK, do not have it here with me in BKK so can not give more details. Had a few photos of the view flying over Pattaya beach.
I'm a pilot too & was looking to do a bit of flying in Thailand....

hmmmm, wonder if their air space rules are as good as the road rules here, if so, could be fun.

If I recall correctly, one of the partners of the Chonburi Flying Service (or whatever the name is) was found murdered about six weeks ago.
The Pattaya Mail archives would have the article but I have no desire to research it. Where's Smegma when you need him?
