Flying a Drone in Thailand – Updated Rules for Tourists (2025 Guide)

Drone Flights Permitted Nationwide Under Strict Rules The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has extended the nationwide allowance for drone operations under Notice No. 6, effective from 16 to 30 September 2025. This new directive replaces the previous order, which expired on 15 September, and maintains Thailand’s strict operational conditions for all unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The temporary extension follows heightened national security measures in response to the Thai–Cambodian border situation. Drone operations remain permitted throughout Thailand, except in specific restricted areas.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has extended temporary drone operation regulations from 16 to 30 September 2025, allowing drone flights nationwide under strict conditions. Operators must register both their drones and pilot licences with CAAT and NBTC, and flight plans must be submitted at least three days in advance via the UAS Portal. Flying is permitted only between 06.00 and 18.00 hours, up to a maximum altitude of 90 metres. Prohibited zones include border provinces, military areas, and airports. Violations may result in legal penalties. Travellers are urged to check the latest rules before flying.
