I have just started boating again and would like to know do I need a licence to fit and use a VHF radio?Based in Pattaya.

Technically yes,

I am importing a boat wtih 2 VHF radios, and the importing agent is taking care of registering the electronics on the boat.

What happens elsewhere, and who enforces this law, I do not know.

"Technically" is a good qualifier.

Technically you are supposed to buy a license for that vhf.

I have not in the 4 years mine's been installed and no one has ever asked to see one. Also you will not find nearly as much use for your vhf here as you do in the western world. They are not the norm on Thai vessels. But you will be able to hail the occasional farang while you are out for a cruise.
