Now Drones are being banned
First it was drinking on the beach
than it was smoking on the beach
now its flying drones UNLESS they are registered. TOT is trying real hard ti attract new tourists
No idea if ALL drones need be registered or only ones over a certain weight as before Up to 2kg drones were legal. Mavic and phantoms are under 2kg
Was looking at them in Central mall in phuket town and there so many different choices,
love all the action videos being done with them...

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/ ... l/30329068Owners have been given 90 days from Friday to register their drones, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) announced on Wednesday.
NBTC Secretary General Takorn Tantasith said the decision was taken to deal with the rampant use of drones in Thailand, while only 350 are registered with the Civil Aviation of Thailand (CAT).
Takorn said owners of illegal drones should register them at the NBTC headquarters in Bangkok, its branches in many provinces, police stations and CAT offices.
Failure to register them within 90 days from Friday could result in a jail term of not more than five years and/or a fine of not more than Bt100,000 or both.
Takorn emphasised the complete ban on drones in the vicinity of the Royal Funeral of His Majesty the late King which is being held at Sanam Luang from October 25 to 29.
The radius of the ban is 19 kilometres from Sanam Luang that goes as far as the border of Samut Prakarn, Nakhon Pathom and Nonthaburi provinces.

Richard, how much do you need to pay for a half decent drone that can take pictures? Do you need a special camera?

I had a drone, Thought I would bring it to Cambodia with me, I imagined lots of wonderful photo's could be done. Problem is I unpacked it from it's box and followed the instructions how to assemble the drone and the camera.
In no time it was sat on the ground ready for flight. At first all went well. Then the thing decided to look to the ground again, but now with lack of control! The impact was hard. Did the same thing when I was young with model aircraft too.
Now kites I will always enjoy.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Got hit by a kite on the beach once. I got knocked to the ground. The kite came out of it without a scratch.
So when I see birdbrains doing drone-swoops over the beach I wonder when someone is going to hit a kid or something.
I don't think drones should be banned, but droners should do their learner droning where the potential for accidents is minimal.
And some people shouldn't drone, or drive, or play with fireworks. Just don't.

The DJI drones have very decent cameras. I have the Phantom 4 Pro which packs a very good camera and is pretty easy to fly (USD 1,800 with a display) . If I were in the market for another drone, I'd get the DJI Mavic (USD 999.00).tightenupvolume1 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 9:37 pm cheers, i will need to work that out in £ or $.
