Reader question: Can I fly a drone in Thailand?
Dear readers,
I would like to take a drone with me on vacation. Well, I have read several stories about taking a drone to Thailand. That it is illegal and you can get a hefty fine and a prison sentence of one year. Now I have also read that it is allowed if it is under two kilos and does not fly higher than 90 meters.
Who can provide me with the correct information?
Yours faithfully,
jacqueline
I advise you not to. You risk a hefty fine and imprisonment. That hefty fine can be ten times what the legal fine is. About 5 months ago I took my drone, a Phantom2Vision+, to Thailand. During one of my flights in Lampang I received a friendly visit from the locals, they all loved it. I stayed with friends in Lampang. The next day the police came to visit. Initially it seemed that they were only interested in the drone and the technology, but the conversation soon evolved. They made it clear to me that it was forbidden in Thailand if you did not have a valid permit issued by the Thai authorities. There was talk of confiscation of my drone, imprisonment and fine. After 5 hours of interrogation and negotiation at the office, I got off with a 55.000 baht fine. I got to keep the drone.
I paid that fine the next day and was happy that this closed the case. I didn't feel like sitting in the interrogation room any longer and certainly not wanting to be remanded in custody and going to jail. I will never take my drone to Thailand again.
Last year, quite strict rules were set.
However, as far as I have been able to ascertain, these rules have not yet entered into force.
The link takes you to a page where the rules are stated and in the comments there are a number of updates from which I believe that the new rules still do not apply.

I would keep an eye on this site and give it a shot. Other than that just use your common sense, not near airports, military objects, hospitals, royal residences, not above crowds, etc.
.
If an overzealous cop or anyone else gets in the way, just pack up and leave. There's no point in arguing.

Will we get to see any videos?

Live near Chiang Mai, have a drone DJI Phantom 3 professional, bring no problem.
If you come near Chiang Mai you can stop by.
Hi
you are right under 2 kilos no problem
