"THE FLYER RESTAURANT" Fly into Pattaya Airpark for breakfast, lunch or dinner at the new "Flyer Restaurant." The restaurant is up on a small hill looking out across the runway surrounded by cool shade trees and a termite mound. There is usually a nice "crosswind" breeze off the pond. This is a lovely place to relax and enjoy your "$100 hamburger" or your "$100 Kow Pat." Khun Neil welcomes you to come and enjoy watching the flying and learn more about aviation in Thailand. Email Neil or phone: 063741718. Rooms or camping facilities are available for overnight visitors. |
 ULTRALIGHT FLIGHT SCHOOL Neil an can arrange an Ultralight Course for you at Pattaya Airpark (ground school and flying 20-25 hrs). The cost is 2,500 Baht per flight hour. So, if you can take 2-3 hrs. a day then the course will take 7-10 days. For ground school, the class is about 20 hrs. and the tuition fee is 500 Baht per hour. If you can arrange a group of students to take the ground school with you, then the cost will be shared (the last time we had 7 students so each of them pay about 70 Baht per hour). If only one student, Neil can arrange to get you the books and may be 3-5 hrs. tuition so you don't have to pay too much but you'll have to read a lot. You will learn in the Flightstar-II ultralight (pictured here). For more information: Email Neil |
