Are you flying now out of Kahn Kaen? What type aircraft are there?
Oh, and a fully restored 0-1 can run you over $100,000...
You are right on the price

Khon Kaen is ripe for GA but at the moment only a government training school.

U-Tapao is a major airfield.

There is a Cessna U17 in the museum in Ho Chi Minh city. Did you ever fly in Saigon?
I'll be flying in Chiang Mai next week and I'll post some pix. Do you ever come back?

You must have been in the Ravens
