Drone registration requirement in Thailand
From October 12, all drones in Thailand must be registered. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC) estimates that there are 50.000 drones in use. Only 35.000 of these have been registered.
Apichai Kroppech, head of the police in Pattaya, indicates that all drones, also from foreigners, must be registered within a period of 90 days. This is for security reasons. Most drones are equipped with cameras, which can violate privacy. In addition, drones can easily transport drugs or pose a threat to aircraft and helicopters.
Because the frequency of the remote-controlled drones falls under the responsibility of the NBTC, it is their task to check the registration of the drones.
Anyone flying an unregistered drone could be fined 100.000 Baht or face a maximum prison sentence of 5 years.
A meeting will be held soon with details about drone use in Thailand

Does anyone have a link where you can register the drone and what the conditions are?
Here are additional requirements if you want to use the dry after registration.
Get permission from the landowner before flying your drone
Must not fly in a way that may cause harm to life, property, and peace of others
Only fly in daylight
Drone must be in line of sight at all times
Do not fly higher than 90 metres
Must not fly over cities, villages, communities or areas where people are gathered
Must not fly near aircraft that pilots (goes without saying)
Must not violate privacy rights of others
Must not cause a nuisance to others
Dry must of course be drone.
If you register your drone at a police station or NBTC office you need the following:
Signed copy of your passport
Proof of address (house book, rental contract, work permit)
Photographs of your drone and its serial number
Two copies of this form [which is in Thai]
If you register your drone at the Civil Aviation Training Center you need the following:
Signed copy of your passport
Proof of address (house book, rental contract, work permit)
Photographs of your drone and its serial number
Copy of this form [English]
I can only download the necessary forms as a PDF and not as a link. But they will have one where you can register the drone.
Does anyone know what it's like as a "tourist"? If you go to Thailand for 3 weeks, for example, can you take a drone with you? If I read it correctly, your drone must be registered within 90 days, but then as a tourist you will of course have left long ago!
Anyone info on this?
Regards,
Erik
It is not that difficult, a drone that is not registered is not allowed to fly.
Proof of address (house book, rental contract, work permit)….
as a “tourist” you will usually not be able to meet this condition.
The only thing you can do, because you are not allowed to fly with an unregistered device, is rent a registered drone and play with it.
It is just like with an amateur radio license, which also falls under the authority of the NBTC. As a tourist it is very difficult to get to that and as a Dutchman it is not even possible at all.
The situation has not become any clearer since October 12.
For the latest developments/experiences, it is best to follow the comments on this page:

In any case, it WAS such that only drones heavier than 2 kg or with a camera had to be registered. This had to be done via the CAAT and took about two to three months. You didn't have to be negatively known to the National Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Narcotics Control Board and the Immigration Bureau, among other things.
NOW all drones should be registered, but it could be done at every police station, among others.
.
Furthermore, there are so many rules that little will come of flying. (Only with insurance, with the permission of the landowner where you start or land, no closer than 50 meters from buildings, not above towns and villages or people or vehicles, not after dark, etc. etc.)
What I wonder "what do you do with a drone" it's another hype "everyone" must have a drone if necessary. You then automatically get rules, privacy that can be violated, accidents when people are flown over people, etc. It is good that there will be a registration requirement, although I do not believe that everyone will comply with the rules, think of criminals and people who purchase a drone for dark purposes. You can also buy those remote-controlled helicopters that actually work just like a drone that fall under the same rules in terms of use and do they also have to be registered?
