Never know, may be worth asking.
Seeing as how there's lots of retired foreigners and hua hin is a wealthy area here. I know there are some in bangkok.
I know patayya has one nearby also.
Seach engines are only showing up the landing strips.
Any flying club or instructors in hua hin airport?

I think not, however I have been told that lessons are available in Prachuap. The airport/strip is just south of the town near Ao Manao.
You will nead a medical of course, just to ensure that you have blood pressure, a heart beat and that you are indeed of the human species.
Best of luck. When you get up there give me a shout and I will contribute 500 Baht for a trailer AD.

From what I know, the CATC (Civil Aviation Training Center) has mostly relocated to HH from the old training center in front of Chatuchak.
There has always been flight training here in HH(I've seen a few Robinson helicopters too), but this is for the locals training to get their PPLs, mainly aspiring TG etc trainees.
HH is also a 'proper'
airport, not a weekend airfield.

Right i spent a while with them checking about doing the PPL.
It is 235k to do it like it says on website but foreigners have to pay in us dollars. fine. how much?
It's fixed at 9,430$US.
Big difference between 235k and 400,000baht.
Nice friendly man the acting head of education dept. with great english who i talked with but nobody likes getting screwed.
It works out cheaper to do it at home and you'd have a better standard.
standard here is 40 hours for PPL. in europe it's at a min 45 hours.
It's 1.7million to do the CPL or that's whats written same place as the 235k so probably must be paid in $ for foreigners so probably works out at 3 million baht which is about 4 times what it costs in europe.
I was so looking forward to it too at the 235,000 rate they said first. Real dissapointed now with that behaviour of Catc. Are some foreigners really that stupid that they don't notice a difference between 235k and $9,430.
Here's the link.
I wish there was a way to do it here without getting screwed. I really do.

Three years ago I enquired what the chang mai flying club charged and it was about £4500 or 324000 baht for the PPL incidentally the exact same or thereabouts as South Africa.niceday wrote:It's 210k in patayya btw now since the fuel hikes but too far to travel.
So now its £5500 or 400,000 baht, hmm thats about the same as the SA with the UK even dearer!
