Thailand will contest a German court's order that it pay a surety of 20 million euros (846 million baht) for the return of HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn's Boeing 737 which has been impounded in Munich.
Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said the government will not pay the surety on the grounds that the aircraft is not its property, but the Crown Prince's.
He said Foreign Ministry officials, the director of the Department of Civil Aviation, representatives of the Royal Thai Air Force and legal experts will travel to Germany to fight the case.
