    Now illegal to fly drones with a camera without a licence in Thailand.

    In my opinion you shouldn't hesitate to bring it with you to Phuket. If the situation is really strict there around nye, you can still decide not to fly. But honestly, I don't think so. And you would miss a big opportunity to make stunning shots. :D

    Travelling to Thailand

    Wow it seems you are only posting here to show people you have some knowledge. Why didn’t you tell us those information in the first place? There is this one “it is forbidden” sentence I wrote, and you reply with a huge text of arguments, paragraphs and whatever. BORING. I was trying to say it...

    Travelling to Thailand

    I couldn’t agree more. Only the first part you’re wrong. While living here I learned a thing: Many things here are “forbidden”. And everybody knows they are forbidden. But no one cares at all. As long as you are not bothering someone here, you’ll have absolutely no problems.

    Travelling to Thailand

    Hi collins, sure, when you got the license, you are allowed. I thought that was obvious. Anyone else without the license will not be allowed to fly a vehicle with a camera attached. That’s how far I know, what I have experienced and what I have read about. How can you say you know what is...

    Travelling to Thailand

    I can not understand your false accusation of misinformation. I’ll try to give an update again. My time of 6 months in Thailand is ending soon. CAAT has contacted me last week almost half a year after I sent them my documents to apply for the license!! I declined it with thanks. Just to clarify...

    Travelling to Thailand

    Hello Arif, I flew with Thai Airways. At Zurich Airport, they wanted to see all the batteries (2 of them) at the security check. I think they were more interested in the drone than really checking it for safety. Since them, I didn't have any problems. Nobody ever cared for my drone. I didn't...

    Travelling to Thailand

    Hello collins, thank you for opinion. I have no idea of the Thai law system, so I really appreciate your advice. I will be in Thailand for half a year and plan to fly my drone regularly (only private, and of course not next to temples ..) I won‘t have a work permit, so would you suggest not...

    Thanks for your information. I will apply for a worldwide insurance for my drone. There are insurances that offer worldwide coverage for a surcharge.

    Travelling to Thailand

    Did you send both of the forms to CAAT, or just one of them? And what did you fill in for „(2) Jurisitc person“ or „(3) government agency“? Or for your adress? The one you will be at in Thailand, or your home adress? What kind of documents did you attach? Any proof of insurance? And the „ID...

    Travelling to Thailand

    CAAT uploaded some new forms on 4th of July. They look much better than anything previously uploaded there.
