Bangkok Airways crash, Koh Samui.

Usual stuff. Operations under tropical rain in summer time.

I flew on HS-PGL from Ko Samui-Phuket last June.

Ooer, pretty certain I’ve flown on HS-PGL before. I see it’s a series 200, but I thought Bangkok Airways were upgrading to series 500s?

What’s shocking is that this is the 2nd time this year that an aircraft I’ve flown on has been in a fatal accident…I flew on HS-PGL from Ko Samui-Phuket last June.

Maybe you should buy a lotto ticket!!!

This is bad news, best wishes to the those injured and their families.

CNN are reporting that the pilot was the only fatality and the plane is an ATR-72.
