What should I know about using drones on Phuket beaches?

Using drones can be an exciting way to capture stunning beach views, but it's important to know that many beaches in Phuket have specific regulations regarding drone use.

• Generally, flying drones is prohibited in crowded areas or near protected wildlife zones to ensure safety and preserve the environment.

• If you're keen on flying your drone, check for designated areas where it's allowed and always respect local privacy laws, especially around residential areas.

Check access, shade, facilities and current sea conditions. Beaches that are convenient for one traveller may be unsuitable for another because of surf, crowds, steps or transport.
