HOT AIR BALLOONS in THAILAND

1. David Tuck - 02 2570300 x313. Mobile: 01 4402131. Email: siamedia@hotmail.com David has his own balloon, a Cameron Viva 90 (G-SIAM), that he uses for private pleasure flying only. The high ambient temperatures in Thailand restrict hot air balloon flying to the early morning and late afternoon. The best time of year to fly balloons is the ‘cooler’ period between early November and early February. Flight clearances from the DOA take about two weeks to process and are usually issued for a 5NM radius from point of origin with a maximum altitude of 500’ AGL. Each clearance requires a photograph of the take off site and the owner’s written permission. David is also happy to help foreign balloonists looking for information about private ballooning in Thailand.
