April 20, 201312 yr Hello, I am about to order online a gun (looks like a real) that fires plastic balls. Is it legal here in Thailand?Sometimes I have surprises, example, electronic cigarette is officially forbidden... Thanks!
April 20, 201312 yr There may be different types, but I see such guns for sale all over the Khlong Thom area, so have to believe they're legal here. Are you ordering online and importing them? That would certainly be an extra layer of difficulty and expense, I would think completely unnecessarily so. . .
April 20, 201312 yr Author Hi, I am in Samui so not many choice, I think I will order online even if before I'll check localy. I will only buy 1, not making a business. Is there import fees if I order from abroad? Thanks
April 20, 201312 yr here they sell these guns for shooting the color filled plastic balls (is that called paintball??) in an official shop.....

Well that does not mean anything...Pornos, and pirated software are illegal in Thailand and sold everywhere.
April 20, 201312 yr Whether they are legal or not, they do sell them in Thailand. I would be very careful when using or carrying the such a gun as they do look like the "real" thing. If the BIB happened to see it, they might react, as any law enforcement officer would, as if it was a potential threat, with disastrous results.
April 20, 201312 yr I bought one, they are termed air soft guns, legal, BUT do not carry in public or in plain view in your vehicle as the Police may misinterpret and shoot yiu. Thats what local Police told me. Good for pests etc, fill mine with comp.air from can, like filling a lighter. Don’t miss the latest headlines from Thailand and around the world.

And the cat enjoys them.
