First, another member suggested I research Thai military aviation accidents, but IMO this is a bigger challenge than my (dragged-on) attempt to research Korean military aviation accidents, again because of the (usual suspect of) language barrier.
Second, and OTOH, while researching aviation accidents (that happened) in Japan and Taiwan, I learnt at least two Thai military accidents happened in Taiwan. These were in the good old days of the Cold War, circa 1960s, when the Filipino, South African, South Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Thai, &c, air forces visited each other.
AFAIK, here are the data. Naturally, if anyone will contribute more details, then go ahead, make our day.
