gonzobrains Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Hey party people, Can anyone tell me if metal detecting and beachcombing legal in thailand? I want to bring a metal detector from the states to look for treasure left on the beach. I know that panning for gold requires a permit, and I don't think you can use a metal detector for that anyway, but could I get away with trolling beaches as a hobby? Thanks, Jeff Edited November 13, 2008 by gonzobrains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Possible work permit issues.......... As if you find anything it's financial can, could be construed as working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
