Thailand is a paperwork-before-beach destination. Most camera drones need CAAT and radio-related registration before legal flight.
Bring it
Do paperwork before arrival when possible; national parks and temples can still ban launch.
Register it
Use CAAT's UAS registration path, check NBTC radio registration, and carry insurance documentation.
Fly it
CAAT registration/permit is commonly required for camera drones or drones over 2 kg. NBTC radio registration and insurance are part of the normal preparation path.
