On Phosi rd. opposite McDonald's is a shop with camo clothing on display out front. They carry both hand guns & rifles. The hand guns are Chinese made, not sure about the rifles.

An air rifle firing lead pellets is classified as a firearm and as such will need a licence. Don't get caught without a licence not worth it.

Sound advice from Gary. I assume that your wife owns the 'farm', and as such obtaining a licence is quite easy and straight forward.

Your wife may be able to get a licence but you will not... Getting caught using it will get you in very hot water... Its not worth it...

No idea what caliber or type ammo. I thought they were replicas when I saw them, but a friend purchased a hand gun there assured me they're air rifles.

There is a store in the Nevada IT Complex, left rear, that sells air guns, plastic and ceramic pellets, compressed air cans, clothes, etc. At least it was there a few months ago.

They are called BB guns here and are nothing more than a glorified toy! totally useless for hunting anything.

Suppose it depends on wot you want an air rifle for ,,, popping soi dogs or tin cans target shooting ,, i reckon Garyzner hit the nail on the head , at the end of the day without a licence its breaking the firearms law ,,,,,, however IF i lived out in the sticks i would take the risk in the town ,, no thanks.

Only Thais can get a licence for a gun, so the wife/girlfriend can use it but officially you cannot, so don't upset the locals!!

I'm not so sure an air rifle falls under the same rules as a fire arm? They are different. The immigration and customs at Swampy let my old English mate in with his air rifle, it was declared and checked out then he was on his way, should he have required a license or permit I'm sure they wouldn't have let him in with it and then travel on to Udon.
