Hello, All,

Family service band walky talkies (sometimes called handy talkies) are popular with sportspeople and others in the U.S. They are battery operated, line-of-sight and have a range of from 2 to 6 kilometers and are about the size of a cigarette pack. They are good for keeping in touch while in a two car caravan, for example. Are they allowed / legal in Thailand? Thanks

They are legal as long as they tested and certified from the Thai Government. They using mainly the 2m Band, 140+ MHz. The cheapest place to buy tn Thailand is in Bangkoks Chinatown at Klong Thom Market.

Hmmm.. Sounds like bringing the two Motorola units I already own will be more trouble than they are worth if "getting them tested and certified by the Thai Gov't" is required. Your thoughts, please? Thanks for your quick reply
