Mountain flying in Thailand

Not quite as dramatic as the Alps but the mountains in Thailands "Golden Triangle" are still daunting. They go up to 8,000ft. More fun flying here than in the UK in winter and half the price!
This is looking over the border to Burma near Mai Sariang.[img]
The airfield at Mai Sariang was paved last year. However the movements book shows only about 50 visors since 2003!
(Hence the cow grazing by the tower)

They filmed a lot of Air America around here

Finals at Mai HonSong. Its a one way strip
