Metal Detecting

[CommandoRog]

Hello all

I am going to Thailand on vacation the 1st of Aug and i would like to take my Metal detector with me.

I am spending 5 days in Bangkok then flying to Koh Samui.

Are there any laws pertaining to detectors and detecting on the beaches of Koh Samui?

Even if there is i think it will be a great vacation anyway

Thanks for your time

Hi all

Well if you have seen other people detecting,then i should have no problem unless these people have permits.

And why should i find alot of brass??

Maybe i should get in touch with the Consulat in Berlin and ask them.(Just in case)

Well thx for your time guys:)
