212traders Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If I were to buy walkie-talkies from USA (FRS & GMRS types), can I operate them in Thailand? Do I need a license? If I need a license, where do I go to apply? I live in Chiangmai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrical place on ground floor at Big C Hangdong (not Home Pro....go to opposite end of the Mall) has the Red and Black ones, starting under 2K. . Don't even think about using anything that is not approved, it may be confiscated and you may get booted out.

innerspace Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Is there any way of purchasing a frequency for commercial use in a certain area? We tried using the common thai ones before but every channel was packed with Thais chatting away. If prices were reasonable wouldnt mind a private channel.
