If your dream is to just have the experience of learning to fly a drone and have a good time at it, there are some great, small, 5" very lightweight quads designed for Indore use.  I bought one for amusement during Covid lockdowns and had a great time.  They are designed to bounce harmlessly off ceilings and walls but fly by all the same principles of larger drones.

The best thing about these mega cheap drones is that they fly like a drunk beetle, then when you get something that is actually stable it feels so easy, stable and controllable.

So do Youtubers who use drones get special permission?

 

I believe you have to have registration and insurance even in regular times, never mind the current restriction due to the Cambodian conflict.

Captured by Pattaya's special affairs officers

Blimey!  Pattaya Plod have got really specialised now.  Soon there will be a squad that deals with traffic offences.

Think I better just operate mine near the house for a while ...

Which of Google Maps guidelines could be applied to recreational drone use that aren't already.  Do you support guidelines restricting what people can use their eyes for and what they can look at in public?

I think drone use should be restricted. Use your eyes to see anything you like, not a camera overhead.

Trust me, nobody is going to snoop on you with the drone. You are highly irrelevant.

You are correct, I'm irrelevant, but not quite to your level, a fool who has nothing better to do than spend their time baiting anonymous forum members.

Using people's images for profit without their consent is illegal.

Under which Thai law and which section specifically?

Where did he make a suggestion ? It was a question. 

It was in the, clearly, sarcastic tone of his suggestion/question.

Criticising his opinion in the manner that you did makes exactly the same hit on the stupidity meter

So when did 3 No, become an opinion? It´s a crazy try to change facts.

"3 No", what does that mean?  Who's "changing facts"?

EDIT:  Ah, you meant "three 'Nos' ".  "No" was 

his opinion.

No it wasn't. You're making assumptions.

Hard to put a sarcastic tone in a written comment!

Are you argumentative for the sake of being obnoxious?

First you objected when it was pointed out that the Swedish drone operator could not claim ignorance of the possibility of regulations since there are regulations in his homeland that apply to personal privacy, particularly when used for commercial purposes. Now you are back to  change your objection from a Swedish basis to a Thai basis. You are like a gnat that won’t go away.

 

Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) of Thailand (PDPA)

“Personal Data” is broadly defined as any information relating to a person, which enables the identification of such person, whether directly or indirectly, but not including the information of deceased persons in particular. The use of a person’s image meets these criteria. The law states that Specific consent is required from the data subject to use that information.

Do you deny the existence of this law?

Do you deny that an image can be used to identify a person?

 

The Thailand  Civil Code has  2 relevant sections;

 Section 420. Liability for Wrongful Acts: A person who, willfully or negligently, unlawfully injures the life, body, health, liberty, property or any right of another person, is said to commit a wrongful act and is responsible for compensation

 

Section 421. Self Defense: The exercise of a right which can only have the purpose of causing injury to another person is unlawful.

 

These two sections make clear that if a person infringes on the rights of someone else or causes them injury, they are liable. Section 421 is direct in stating that while someone may have the right to take photographs, if the other party  is injured, then it is an unlawful act.  The use of photos without permission of the subject can give rise to personal injury and is therefore subject to the protections of the civil code.

Not all of them, only the special ones, with an inferiority complex. That means you.
