…and what would you like us to do with this information?
Could be used at a cocktail party full of bored people having boring idle chatter as a conversation starter…or stopper.

…and what would you like us to do with this information?Show it to BTRE or whoever manages the ASIC? Point out that here you have a golf course adjoining a runway with no fences yet you have HCRPT jets taking off, so why do I need an expensive, albeit pretty, piece of plastic to get to the jet when there's a crash axe on the bulkhead - but the Thai Government doesn't feel it necessary to the point there's the golf course there sans fence?

Not everything here has to be all rumours and mud-slinging, sometimes it's good to see a nice photo of a pretty jet in a relatively unusual situation. I had not heard of a Golf Course running down between two runways like this, sorry if this is an everyday occurrence for you :P

Cocos Island is another one where the runway goes between the greens, and with no fence. At least the players on Cocos halt play while you thunder past. With the old Bangkok 21L/R they seemed to keep playing with golf balls bouncing along the edge of the runway. Funny old world, not to mention the farmer at Narita who refused to sell, and you taxi around his farm in the middle of the aerodrome.

Isn't the golf course inside a military base?
