[QUOTE="Excesstext, post: 97574, member: 10854"] Thailand is pretty much a no-go for flying unless you have a day to arrange the permit/register/insurance - it’s not impossible but for a short trip through better to leave in your luggage. Malaysia is better (you can fly legally) but there are some specific air-space restrictions. Unlike Europe where the fines are massive you may find the prospect of 3-years in a SE Asian gaol more of a deterrent! Where I am right now (Malaysia-Sabah-Kota Kinabalu) the flying would be great except for the airport nearby. With a local permit it’s possible to fly to 60m but it’s easier I think to go well clear of the airport :) The nearby marine park islands are permit only, but given the thousands of people visiting each day I think it’s for the better.

Imagine if 10% had a drone! There’d be more drones than tropical bugs in the air! So while I’m disappointed about the lack of flying, I actually understand it. I’ll head down the coast in a day or two and see if I can find a place for free-flight :) [/QUOTE]
