I have put it to the powers up top and now waiting for a reply.

Hello Bannork,

Firstly have a read of this.

However, in this particular case I think it's only fair that the member who posted the image is asked personally and he/she acquiesces (and with the knowledge of the Photography Forum mods).

The consensus from those further up the ladder is that it is acceptable providing the request is channeled through thaivisa management

ie moderators who will put it to the original poster or owner of the particular image asking for permission for the image to be used for

commercial purposes.

Unfortunately it has to be done this way to protect thaivisa and  the party who wishes to use the image from any possible legal action that 

could take place if permission from the owner was not sought.

There are a number of our members that have copyright over their images and that may not be known by others.

Even those that don't have copyright over their images deserve that courtesy be shown  by at least being asked for permission to use.

Do you have any particular image or images in mind at this stage ?

If so please provide me  with the topic, page number, post number and poster, this will allow me to correctly identify the image.

Cheers,

Ron
