Guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 Hi Guys, I read somewhere that I could get a Cessna pilots license for as little as 75000baht. I think the place was somewhere near Pattaya. Anyone have any insights or experience? How long does it take? Quality of instruction, aircraft, acceptability of license in the States etc. I'm going to be there for several months so I might have enough time.

Guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 I'm not sure about Pattaya, but you can get a pilot's licence at the Chiang Mai Flying Club. No idea what planes they use, but it costs 12,000 Baht and takes six months. Otherwise they're probably selling pilot's licences on Khao San Rd. ...

Chanchao Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 Not sure about the price of 12,000 baht, but the Chiang Mai flying club does offer courses. I know an English guy who teaches there. The airfield is actually in Lamphun province, but still very close to Chiang Mai. Contact chris@thai.com for more info. Cheers, Chanchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiedoug Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 In the real world a pilot's licence takes about 30 hours of actual flying time.Now,if you take the cost of fueling the plane and then hopefully maintaining it, how could it cost only that little in Thailand.

Guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 You could try to get more information fromthis site. They do microlight training but would hopefully have the derails on a full license. web page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
