POL FSN made an unannounced visit to the General Aviation

December 2, 2005 and was met by COL Mom Luang Phongchomphunut 
Thongthaem, President of the Company.  He said that the 
company is a subsidiary of the Loxley Public Company, Ltd. 
His business card listed The General Aviation Co., Ltd. as a 
Bell Helicopter Textron Representative.  COL Mom answered all 
questions posed in reftel: 
 
1  Can General Aviation confirm it placed an order for the 
helicopter mentioned in reftel? 
 
Yes.  The purchase of the Bell 430 and KRG-33 and QRS-11 
equipment was confirmed. 
 
2  How will this aircraft be used? 
 
It will be used as an Air Ambulance by the well-known 
hospital, Bangkok General, which is the actual owner/user. 
Bangkok Helicopter, Co., Ltd. will provide pilots, engineers, 
and maintenance.  The aircraft will be the first air 
ambulance in Thailand. 
 
3  Will it operate only in Thai airspace? 
 
Primarily yes.  However, if there is an official emergency 
request for medical airlift from a neighboring country and 
the RTG approves, it is possible the helicopter could fly 
into another country's airspace. 
 
4.  Does General Aviation have ties to the Thai military? 
 
General Aviation, while serving as Bell's representative in 
Thailand from November 2004-November 2005 provided spare 
parts, maintenance, and technical support to the Royal Thai 
Armed Forces.

included in the transfer? 
 
COL Phonchomphunut does not know about the technical 
specifications of the QRS-11.  He could not provide copies of 
a DSP 83 or contract No. 14484 described in reftel.  COL 
Phonchomphunut was also uncertain as to the exact location of 
Bangkok Helicopter, claiming to have been contacted by Mr. 
Thawatwong Thanasumit directly and meeting him in his own 
office. 
 
POL FSN made an unannounced visit to the address listed for 
Bangkok Helicopters later that day and was told by a 
secretary that Mr. Thawatwong was abroad on business.  The 
 
SIPDIS 
secretary said that Mr. Thawatwong is the Senior Vice 
 
SIPDIS 
President for Bangkok Helicopter.  The secretary suggested 
FSN visit a nearby office complex, the UM Building, to see 
Bangkok Helicopter's headquarters. No one at that location 
had ever heard of Bangkok Helicopter. 
On December 6, POL FSN spoke to Mr. Thawatwong by phone 
(66-2-265-5910 as stated in reftel).  Mr. Thawatwong refused 
to meet POL FSN, claiming his schedule was too tight.  He was 
not cooperative in answering questions saying that inquiries 
should be directed at the seller, Bell Helicopters.  He was 
unwilling to provide any written answers or documentation 
clarifying the queries outlined in reftel.  His verbal 
replies to reftel questions are: 
 
1.  Can Bangkok Helicopter confirm it placed an order for 
this helicopter? 
 
Yes.  According to Thawatwong, a contract has been signed. 
 
2.  How will the aircraft be used? 
 
It will be used by Bangkok General Hospital but operated by 
Bangkok Helicopter. 
 
3.  Will it operate only within Thai airspace? 
 
Yes, it does not have a range to leave Thailand.  If there is 
a request for medical assistance outside Thailand, the Royal 
Thai Armed Forces generally responds. 
 
4.  Does Bangkok Helicopter have ties to the Thai military? 
 
No. 
 
5.  Is there a specific need for the QRS-11 sensor to be 
included in the transfer. 
 
Mr. Thawatwong does not know what the sensor does.  He said 
that the seller, Bell, proposed its sale and he agreed to 
purchase it.
