The film "Rak Siam Tao Fah" will be released in Thai theaters on 31 Jan 2008. This adventure drama is about the early days of aviation in the Kingdom of Siam - first country in Asia to have an aviation program. It about the meeting of two cultures "East meets West" before World War I, when the airplanes were made out of wood, and the pilots were made out of iron. It is a film about believing in the power of your dream and it is based on fact that Siam sent over 70 pilots with their Expeditionary Forces to support the allies in France during World War I. The film uses real aerials over pristine forests, mountains and rivers in Thailand.

With the booming economies of India, China and other Asian nations, there is a growing shortage of pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and other aviation personnel. Until recently, US pilots were required to retire at age 60. Many of these pilots were then hired by foreign carriers to supplement their ranks with experienced pilots. Now with the recent extension of the pilot retirement age to 65, this source of qualified pilots has dried up. With the growth of new airlines in developing countries, the other job categories are hurting as well.

Pangandaran was a well-kept Javanese secret until a tsunami in June 2006 put it onto the world map for an instant. Unfortunately, the tsunami took it off the Javanese tourism map and it fell off the world map pretty quickly thereafter, too, leaving the devastated region impoverished and with little prospects of a quick recovery. I had wanted to visit Pangandaran, a beautiful fishing village, national park and seaside holiday destination on the south cost of central Java, for some time but had been deterred by the long drive by road and was unsure of how to get there. That was, of course, until I heard that there was a serviceable airstrip only 35 km from the town of Pangandaran itself.
