Legal Issues About Weapon Posession In Th? I Do Not Mean Firearms

[atelko]

So this is all about:

I am not an aggressive person, but sometimes I take a walk in middle of the night. even if there is nobody else on the street, except me.

That maybe sounds strange to you, but I need is to get asleep. This is because I have a sleep disorder.

Whatever I do I can´t go to sleep, Even strong pills don´t show any effects. Tried everything with my doctor.

This all is no problem in Germany, because it is safe and so on but I think that all changes when I will be in Bangkok.

So this is why I would like to know if it is legal to posess CS-Spray or a spring cosh in Thailand?

I mean all those people who are selling that stuff on the markets all over Thailand do not make it legal just für providing you with that stuff. And the guys who are selling it are teling you everything you want to hear or what makes you buy it and them a few THB richer.

That is why I want to know it from you wise guys

Sure, some people think that it might be more clever to run away or give the muggers what they need and that´s it. But if you look at the news that does not always do the job. The robbers are getting much more aggressive and are not just interested in your belongings or they are just afraid to get caught afterwards when letting you go.

So let´s say it is legal, do I have to register or report it to the police, so te police can check it with my registry or the police station if they check me and my files for no reason on the street and find the "weapon" in my bag?

If it is illegal, what happens? Do you have to pay a fee, get deported or what? I mean, I don´t want to break any laws and won´t use them if they are illegal, but am just curious about it.

It´s all about self defense. I am not a big, tall & strong guy that you should be afraid of and I do not run around with a T-Shirt and street wear, it is more a casual and business style I am wearing and that makes me maybe more a pointed victim....

I am also out at night not just because for taking a walk and the room I will be staying is a few sois inside the main road like many not so exclusive/luxus condo-buildings.

Hope you guys know something about that issue...
