Drone Filming for Events in Phuket, Bangkok and Across Thailand

Show your event from above. Our drone pilots film the venue, the setting and the guests from the air, and take group photos that are impossible from the ground.

Aerial video and photos for events in Phuket, Bangkok, Krabi and across Thailand, flown by registered pilots, with permits and venue approvals handled by our team.

About the show

Aerial Video and Photos That Set the Scene

Aerial footage gives an event film its sense of place: a beach dinner on a Phuket bay, a rooftop party above the Bangkok skyline, a resort on a cliff, or a group on a Krabi beach. It shows the scale of the venue and the setting in a way ground cameras cannot.

Drone shots work best as part of a wider shoot, complementing the ground-level footage rather than replacing it. We coordinate with our event videographers and photographers so the aerial shots match the edit, the schedule and your brand.

Permits and safety

Flying Legally and Safely in Thailand

Drone flying at events in Thailand is regulated. Camera drones need registration with the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT), radio equipment approved by the NBTC, and insurance.

Commercial and event filming can also need prior CAAT approval, and the rules were tightened in May 2026, so we check the current requirements for every shoot. We scout the site, check airspace and restricted zones, and agree a flight plan with the venue.

  • Pilot and drone registered with the CAAT, equipment approved by the NBTC
  • Insurance for the flight
  • Permission from the venue and the flight area, including limits near airports
  • A safe take-off and landing area, with no flying directly over crowds

  • The date, the timings and the time of the sunset

  • How you will use the footage and when you need it

FAQ

Drone Filming: FAQ

Do you need permission to fly a drone at an event in Thailand?

Yes. Pilots and drones must be registered with the CAAT, radio equipment approved by the NBTC, and the venue must agree. Commercial filming can also need CAAT approval, which we check and arrange for every shoot.

How much does drone filming cost?

There is no fixed price. It depends on the length of the shoot, the locations, travel and how much editing you need. Send us the brief and we reply within 24 hours with a quote.

Can you fly near Phuket airport?

Areas close to the airport are restricted. We check your venue's location first and plan shots that are allowed.

Can you film guests from above?

We do not fly directly over crowds. Group photos and guest shots are planned with the venue and the pilot, from a safe height and distance.

Can you take a group photo from above?

Yes. Aerial group photos are a highlight of incentive trips; we plan the position and the timing with you.

Can we get the raw footage?

Yes, if agreed beforehand. We can deliver edited clips, stills or raw footage, depending on what your team needs.

Can drone filming be combined with a videographer and photographer?

Yes. Aerial shots work best alongside ground footage. See our event videographers and photographers.

What happens if it is windy or rains?

Wind and rain can stop a flight. We plan a time window and a backup slot where possible, and agree what happens if the weather does not allow it.

Where can you film?

Phuket, Bangkok, Krabi, Koh Samui, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai and other destinations across Thailand.

How far in advance should we book?

Two to four weeks is usually enough for drone filming. For December to April in Phuket, Songkran, Chinese New Year and other peak dates, book as early as possible to secure your preferred performers.
