Thai language TV and news suggest approach was to 09

Looking at thai language newspapers and TV today, I note that TV Animations (and newspaper graphics) suggest that the incident approach was for 09. Time will tell.

Predominant wx at this time of the year is still sw monsoon, usually favouring 27. example METAR/TAF for today:
METAR: VTSP 171100Z 34004KT 3000 RA SCT010 BKN100 BKN300 24/22 Q1008 A2977
TAF: VTSP 170930Z 171212 24010KT 9000 SCT020 SCT120 BKN300 TEMPO 1216 24010G25KT 3000 TSRA/SHRA FEW016CB SCT020 BKN100
A sad day indeed.
