Say Again? Ranong • Rayong • Yala

Event Details

Warm up your vocal cords and practice your pronunciation, because this July, IVAO Thailand is bringing you the ultimate test of radio discipline and articulation! Welcome to a domestic hop featuring three of Thailand’s most notoriously similar-sounding destinations: Ranong (VTSR), Rayong (VTBU), and Yala (VTSY). The Golden Rule of the Night: Slip up, stutter, or twist your tongue on these names, and you can forget about your clearance! If you can't say it right the first time, expect a sharp "Say Again" from our controllers. No clearance will be issued until your tongue unties! Our ATC team will be listening with eagle eyes—or rather, laser ears. Did you say "Clear to Rayong" or did it sound like "Ranong"? Trying to correct it to "Yala" but got tongue-tied? Prepare to hear "Say again, your destination?" on repeat until you get it perfect. Event Details: Date & Time: 10 July 2026 | 1300z - 1600z Featured Airports: Ranong (VTSR) / U-Tapao Rayong (VTBU) / Betong Yala (VTSY) Difficulty Level: Easy to fly... extremely hard to read back! Clear your throat, practice your tongue twisters, and let’s see who gets their clearance on the first try and who gets stuck in a "Say Again" loop. Push back, mic up, and don't get twisted!
