FAQ'S

The use of aerial drones at Keemala requires permission by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) as well as advance written approval from the resort. Keemala places the highest priority on the privacy and safety of guests and staff, as well as avoiding disruption and maintaining tranquility throughout the property. To this end, personal drone use is not permitted on property or in the airspace above Keemala. For weddings and events contracted on property, professional vendors may request the Resort’s advance written permission for drone photography and filming exclusively for this purpose, and must also provide a valid CAAT registration.
