Whether you use drones for purposes of personal pleasure or covert surveillance, it looks like your days of hassle-free flying are numbered.
The Transport Ministry earlier this week announced plans to restrict the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which it says can interfere with air traffic.
At present, UAVs (known in the popular lexicon as “drones”) are used by hobbyists, geologists and military personnel in order to conduct long-range surveillance.
The Bangkok Post reports that the Department of Civil Aviation has proposed changes to the Thai Aviation Act that would govern the use of drones. Word has yet to emerge regarding what these restrictions will entail.
