Drone Restrictions in Thailand’s Border Areas with Cambodia 🚁
Thailand has introduced new regulations on the use of drones in certain border areas due to ongoing tensions with Cambodia. From now on, drone operations in Trat and Chanthaburi provinces are strictly limited. ⚠️
Key restrictions
- Drones may only be flown with prior notification to the authorities
- Flights are limited to specific hours designated by local officials
- Maximum altitude for drone flights is 90 meters
Why the restrictions?
These measures were introduced to enhance security in sensitive border zones and to prevent incidents during periods of increased tension. The restrictions apply particularly to areas close to the Cambodia–Thailand border. 🌏
Important for tourists and drone operators
If you are traveling to Trat or Chanthaburi and plan to use a drone, make sure you are aware of the local regulations. Unauthorized drone flights could result in fines or confiscation of equipment. 🛑
Tip: Always check the latest updates from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) or local authorities before flying a drone in restricted areas. ✅
