Thailand - Drone ban lifted but App to report flights mandatory now

[Stefan in Thailand]

Hi,

Everyone traveling to Thailand with a drone should know that using the UAS Portal app has now become mandatory.

With this app you can:

• Check whether your flight is in an open, restricted, or forbidden zone.
• Apply for permission from the Royal Thai Air Force wing commander if you plan to fly in a restricted zone.
• Report all your flights, including start and landing times.

The challenge: the app is only available in the Thai App Store (iOS) and Thai Play Store (Android).

• For iOS, you’ll need to create a new Apple ID registered in Thailand.
• For Android, you’ll need to set up a new Gmail address.
  At the moment, the app appears to be accessible only within Thailand.

If you’re interested, I can provide you with a detailed step-by-step guide for installation and use.

Yes, flying your drone legally in Thailand has become more effort.

Greetings from Chiang Rai, the northernmost province of Thailand
Stefan

I'll be visiting Thailand in April, and I will be bringing along my Mini 3 Pro. If things are still as restricted then as you say they are currently, I'll probably have some questions for you (so please don't disappear ).

Thanks for keeping us posted on the situation (and hopefully, the situation along the border will settle down...though I suspect the political situation in Bangkok is in for some more turmoil ahead with the latest political shuffling).

"Amazing Thailand" as the adverts say!

Rest assured, I’ll be here in April. Hopefully, there won’t be any need to answer your questions – but in amazing Thailand, you never know how things might turn out.
