Welcome to fly in Thailand!

I'm Neil at Pattaya Airpark. Firstly, please allow me to brief you some regulations in Thailand. You can fly a Thai registration aircraft only by endorse your license with DCA. It's not difficult to do so but you'll have to be a member of an approved flying organization and then the president of such org. give the certification of membership attached to the application to endorse on your license. You may apply to be a member of either one of this:

1. Pattaya Flying Club under Sport Flying Association (Thailand) at the cost of Bht.9,500.- for the first year and Bht.7,000.- for the following years. After 7 years of being membership constantly you'll be automatically convert to a life member and paying only Bht.1,500.- annually . A one time life membership is Bht.37,500.- and Bht.1,500.- for the following years. You will receive 2 membership cards from Pattaya Flying Club / PFC and Sport Flying Association (Thailand) / SFAT

2. Pattaya Flying Club under The Foundation for Preservation and Development of Thai Aircraft under patronage of His Majesty the King (FPDP), you're paying exactly the same as no.1, It's advisible if your interest is about History of Aircraft, Vintage, Restoration etc. NB. If you'd like to become both memberships, the different is you are paying Bht.2,500.- more for the first year only.

3. Thai Flying Club, I think you're paying Bht.10,000.- annually. For more details please contact TFC directly
