khunsanuk Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Specialist, Thanks for writing about that. Sounds like you had a blast. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 It wasn't free. Thai Airways (like all airlines) keeps their simulators BUSY. For those odd hours when none of their pilots are doing recurrent training, and no other airline has bought time, they offer them to the public at 20,000 baht/hour. (Note: WORTH EVERY SATANG!!!) ... That's an expensive ST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 As somebody once said, "Expensive compared to what?" Maybe compared to your air fare to Bangkok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Well, I figure it this way: I'm going to be in Bangkok ANYWAY, and it is not currently possible to do in the US what I've already done, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 And to think if Specialist had not of joined us over 3 years ago for Sunday Brunch on Soi Convent there is a probability he would never have known about the Flight Simulator.

PRECISELY! It gets worse. If I had not stumbled across you guys ten or more years ago, I would not have joined you for that Sunday Brunch. I only stumbled over you guys because, a year or two earlier, I came to Bangkok to attend a basic hypnosis seminar. And, for that matter, if I hadn't had to go to the loo in the course of the brunch, I would not have found the stack of brochures in the loo! Or, if I'd had three brain cells to rub together that day, and had stayed in bed all day, recovering from the 8 AM arrival instead of the planned midnight arrival... I use this as my example of the folly of career planning. You CAN'T plan for the weird events that wind up resulting in major changes to your life, ten or more years later.

Specialist Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 And, since the topic has been raised... I'm going to be talking with the FAA Designated Airman's Medical Examiners when I get back home. I'm out of excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Sir, your post reminds me of your earlier experince with the simulator company in Ekkamai. Which I now shall visit in 3 weeks. Question is how to proceed best : I shall be in town for maybe a week and might want to see them 3 times . What would you recommend for a start ?
