isanbirder Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Sounds fun. You probably don't need a licence, but if you ask, the amphur etc authorities would probably say you do. Just don't let 'authorities' see you use it (police, forest rangers etc). Sadly, I have no idea where you could get one! (I could tell you a place in Hong Kong.....)

Litlos Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have seen them used on the beaches looking for lost change etc. A quick google brings up Thaimetaldetectors.com which is in English with prices from 24,000 to 200,000 Baht.

Chittychangchang Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 A friend of mine found a $6000 engagement ring with a metal detector on koh samui . An interesting fun hobby, be prepared for lots of ring pulls and nails though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
