In my opinion it's a very good lifestyle. If I get a flying job there I will definately go. Things are pretty cheap, the food is good and the people are very friendly.

What a City, its cheap, its huge, population near 7 million mark i believe.Ive been there 3 times in the last 12 months.Flew with Bangkok Air on the ATR from little airport near Pattaya to Koh-Samui in Jan this year.Beautifull place to work.Lucky you.Ide give my right arm for a job flying the ATR around Thialand.Spoke with the CPT and FO who gave me a flight deck visit on the ground in Koh-Samui, they painted a pretty picture saying life there was good flying for B.A.I was under the impression only Thai nationals would make it into B.A.Good luck to you and hope your succesfull

Due to a pilot shortage, BKP are recruiting foreign nationals for the ATRs now.

I think it's through Euro-Pacific out of New Zealand. I also believe that they have a website also. Good luck.

Thailand....wow!
