Nok Airfield, southeast of Chang Mai, Thailand. I flew a Rotax-powered Diamond DA20. The Tiger was there, but the T21b wasn't to be seen.

Harry,
I didn't crop the picture, but you are right, the threshold of Runway 27 is just out of shot:



The amazing thing is that Runway 09/27 is a different airfield! Apparently, the partners in Lanna Airfield had a falling out, so some of them went away and built Nok. Here's a sentence from the Obstacles section of Lanna's website:
3. IMPORTANT!!! Trees, planted by Nok Airfield in the east of the runway. "Nok Airfield" has been licensed in 2005 by the DCA only 270 m east of our runway!
Airfield (VTCM) - Lanna Flying Club, Chiang Mai, Thailand

The Nok website makes no mention of the adjacent runway:

When I was flying there, I didn't even notice the Lanna runway - so much for my SA!

SMOKEON has control.
