I have the same problem..

Very nice footage! I’m going back to Ko Samui next week. Haven’t been there since 1999. I was considering staying at the Melia Resort. Your video might have sealed the deal!

I have never brought a drone into Thailand, but this might be of some help. https://thaiembdc.org/registration-needed-for-drones-brought-on-holiday-to-thailand/

Thanks for the info. I am a A&P mechanic and would like to study, learn and obtain a Drone Technician Certification if it ever becomes available again. Let me know if you ever hear anything about it in the future.

I tried to attache a couple of contextual photos, but the files where too big. I was able to capture about 50% of the photos from birds eye view, mostly when that area of the lot was mostly empty and no people below. The rest I captured while hovering over the trees or buildings.

Insurance is a given. Never fly for hire without it!

Thanks for sharing the photos! That helps me a lot! I think I can obtain the data they want with the camera angled up just a little.

I thought there was software that did the counting for you, but I guess they don’t have it.

I appreciate your perspective, and do understand where you are coming from. But, having worked for an aviation defense law firm for a short time years ago, and currently holding other FAA certificates for over 30 years, the FAA means “generally” not over people until your drone drops out of the...
