German survives plane crash in Thailand – and is now saddled with a mountain of debt. On January 13, 2024, the duo took off with the aircraft registered as U-H77 from an airfield near the popular holiday resort of Pattaya on Thailand's eastern Gulf coast.
Problems are said to have occurred just a few minutes after takeoff at a height of 180 meters. The German-Austrian duo was traveling privately in the aircraft, legally and not as part of a travel or tourism group.
