Agreed. But, this was U N B E L I E V A B L E. ATC issued the same altitudes to both aircraft, and turned the VN aircraft towards the Thai - and insisted that they "..follow ATC instruction...". Apparently, the ATC until was "Training" and the radar was U/S.
The Thai Airplace didn't seem to notice (albiet they were busy with their "emergency"). Fortunate that the other pilot seemed to know what was going on, or things could have become a triffle disasterous.
Anyhow.... Agreed
