Flying a drone in Thailand
Legal but strict and slow. You must register with BOTH the NBTC and CAAT, buy 1,000,000 THB liability insurance, and declare the drone at customs. Allow 1-2+ weeks; unregistered drones risk confiscation.

- CAAT (aviation) + NBTC (radio) (CAAT)
- Registration
- Dual registration required. NBTC: ~THB 200, within 30 days of import. CAAT: generally free, required for any camera drone or over 2kg. Both are needed.
