Great report Eal- that’s a serious adventure
This sounds quite a fun grass roots aviation airport in Northern Thailand.

A Cardinal. Nice machine. I am not familiar with anyone flying one of those here. However I am based in the North and the bulk of GA is around the middle near Bangkok.

Or EASA Reg would work too (part-ml, nco) to keep the prop on condition.
…and to think just over a year ago I was flying freely around Europe and then returned all the way back to Thailand.
Such a trip is virtually impossible now without a lot of inconvenience and risk of being locked up along the way, if allowed to enter a particular country at all.

Great post EAL. Well done on managing this.
I suspect there must be a lot of stranded large and small aircraft littered around the globe.
Yes; I know of a bizjet abandoned in South Africa… they are quite cheap so they might just leave it there

Indeed, but that’s not an option in Malaysia.
What an adventure. Probably the aircraft was in better shape before the overhaul mess. If it is not broken do not fix it. And every time they overhaul a metal prop they grind down precious material. I will stay Nreg as long as I can…
I think recovering any aircraft across borders, especially non EU ones is a logistical feat in itself. Kudos to the Uruguay ops. That must have been tricky to pull off.
