You will most likely NOT make it in 5 weeks through this;
https://www.caat.or.th/uav/
(Needed forms are to download in english)
They write "Result will be announced in 15 working days (3 weeks), if all docs are provided."
Just: you can provide the entry stamp only after arriving.
And, anyway, my last registration needed 10 weeks, about!
But you could register, hope the best, add the arrival date instead of the arrival stamp with a note, you upload it the first, after arrival.
And ask to check all other stuff, so that it would be a quick answer after that.
Not sure if that would work, but what sense makes it to offer foreigners a registration via Internet, if you need a 2 month holiday, to get it?
You would, however, need a insurance for that.
(I would get one anyway, just the question if you want one, find one with "worldwide" cover)
But if I were someone on a short trip to Thailand, I would register with the NBTC , free of charge, walk in process.
They are also having the higher penalty fines, in case it matters. ;-)
But "your" next office might be in Phuket.
Aside that, just last week a police officer approached me, after he saw me starting the bird.
(I am registered, so I tried to get the bird in the air, before he left on his bike ;-)
He was just curious, ask about the price, how far, how high, watched a bit and moved on.
And looking around me, sometimes, there are probably not many drones registered, from "Farang", but in the air
As long you use common sense, the bystanders mostly just wanna look at your flight devices display
On the other hand I know of someone, who needed to put the hand in the pocket, to solve being spottet by a policeman.
But "TiT", that was 1000 baht. And a receipt from the station, so he had permission to fly for the rest of the day!
(Thats how fines work here in Thailand. You paid for p.ex. driving without license (or helmet!) , you can do it the rest of the day, some areas 3 days, some even a week long)
Next "Stop" you just show the receipt!
For Khao Lak, I just advice not to start it direct in front of the bigger hotels with direct beach access.
The beaches are public, you can pass by, but they may worry, you wanna "spy" on there ground.
Have fun and nice flights! |
