[CAUTION: the following has not been checked recently and may be incorrect:]

According to Richard Barrow, a blogger and drone operator living in Thailand, as of May 2015, the Thai government had not enacted a regulatory regime governing the use of drones.

 

According to press accounts, new regulations were to be implemented in March 2015 that would divide drone use into two categories: sport and research purposes, and personal use. Drones used under the first category would need to secure prior permission and have a pre-arranged flight path. Drones flown under the second category would not be allowed to be fitted with cameras, unless they were to be used by the media or the film industry. However, as of June 2015, we were unable to find evidence that such laws had been passed.
