Over the last few years, Udon Thani has been “invaded” by U.S. military personnel due to joint exercises such as “Cobra Gold” and “Cope Tiger” — or at least, that’s how some Expats and tourists sometimes feel. It is often expressed on forums that the older males only feel this way because the Thai lassies do not accord them the same attention that otherwise might be.
This heralded the involvement of Singapore military personnel in that recurring operation (from Singapore Window).
Thai Air Force admits Singapore deal
Agreement allows island state to station military personnel in Udon Thani

THE Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) yesterday, Nov 18, admitted it had struck an agreement with Singapore that would allow military personnel from the island state to train at an airbase in Udon Thani.
RTAF commander-in-chief ACM Kongsak Wanthana told a press conference at its headquarters yesterday morning that the deal was fair as the RTAF would get military materiel and know-how as well as the right to use Singapore’s air-base facilities in return.
The admission came amid concerns that the deal with Singapore would sour the Kingdom’s ties with other neighbours like Malaysia and Laos.
Democrat MP Piraphan Salirat-vipak said during yesterday’s House meeting that the deal might violate the Constitution as it required parliamentary approval.
He also called for disclosure of the deal’s details.
An RTAF source said that in a memorandum of understanding signed last Friday, the air force agreed to allow Singapore to use its Wing 23 Base in Udon Thani three times a year in exchange for seven second-hand F-16 fighter jets worth more than Bt1 billion.
“Normally the Singapore military holds training at the Korat air base two times a year. Three more visits at the Wing 23 Base won’t be a problem,” the source said.
ACM Kongsak yesterday said Singaporean personnel would be allowed to train for three sessions a year, for no more than 60 days a session and involving no more than 20 aircraft each time. He dismissed the prospect of Singapore establishing a permanent air base here.
Kongsak said the deal was in line with a Cabinet resolution in 1983 to allow military personnel from member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to use RTAF facilities for training.
The air force chief said that although the MoU would expire in 15 years, a review could be made every five years.
Defence Ministry spokesman Maj-General Palangkoon Klahan said yesterday that the deal with Singapore, which is viewed as a close ally of the US, was not to pave the way for a return of American air bases in Thailand.
Back in early 2007, Tiger Airways began direct flights that connected Udon Thani and Singapore; however, those flights ceased the following year.
