Drone Association Thailand (DAT) operates under the oversight of Thai state regulators and positions itself as an intermediary between unmanned aircraft operators and government agencies, per the objectives registered at its incorporation on 16 December 2022. This page sets out how we work with regulators, where the boundaries of our work sit, and the principles governing how we publish security content.<\/p>\n

The regulatory framework we operate under<\/h2>\n

Unmanned aircraft operations in Thailand are regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT)<\/strong>, covering aircraft registration, remote pilot registration, and no-fly zone declarations. The association holds no regulatory authority of its own. Our role is to track announcements, explain them to operators, gather operational impact from the field, and present it back to the regulator through formal channels.<\/p>\n

Tracking and publishing regulatory announcements<\/h2>\n

Since September 2025 we have tracked and published explanatory coverage of eleven CAAT announcements controlling unmanned aircraft operations, so operators understand their legal position before flying.<\/p>\n

We also maintain a no-fly zone map<\/a> and a restricted airspace summary<\/a> so operators can verify a location before flying.<\/p>\n

Participation in regulatory processes<\/h2>\n

We engage in policy formation through formal channels rather than acting unilaterally.<\/p>\n
