Law on tasers, batons and pepper spray?

Featured Replies

Hi All

Does anyone know the law on tasers, batons and pepper spray whether they're legal or not?

I know you can buy them all in markets and night bazaars and they're all readily available but that doesn't mean they're legal.

In a lot of counties they're considered a firearm. I know Thailand is relatively safe but for added security a lot of people have or are considering buying one of them. I posted this in the 'Ask the Lawyers' section but no reply unfortunately

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

As far as I am concerned, when it comes to defending yourself, anything goes, your health and well being is more important than any law anyone makes up.

I think in defending yourself you cannot have the alpha weapon - like a gun drawing down on a knife.......that's how it was described to me - but by a farang not a Thai.....personally I think the baton is best.......

Sometimes a pocket full of salt - or insect/ant/bug/hornet spray would come in handy in some situations.....any of those in a face/eyes (person/dog) would work.....
