R22 rental Thailand
Hello,
Going for vacation in late december to sunny Thailand and the thought entered my mind that maybe I could fly their and view the nice scenery from above! But I can't seem to find any information at all and I was, as always, hoping that maybe some of you could help me out!
Thanks!

I can advise that there are no R22 Helicopters or any other Helicopters available for Private Hire in the Kingdom of Thailand.
To fly at all in Thailand will require you to obtain a permit etc etc etc.
DCA is now requiring applicants for foreign license validation to take a Thai Air Law and Human Factors written exam before rendering foreign licenses valid for flight in Thailand.
Before you can do the above you must be a member of a Thai flying club also.

My brother looked into this a few years back and he basically found out that it was going to be impossible.
He heard from a very reliable source that the Thai government tightly restrict everything to do with helicopters because they are afraid they may get into the hands of drug growers/manufacturers who will use them to fly into remote areas. May be just a rumour but it wouldn't surprise me.

Another reason that speaks for the Cabri, it's apparently silent and has a luggage compartment
PS: How about "transiting" through Thailand with N-registered helicopters?

No helicopters but fixed wing's easy. EG: Chiangmai Flying Club Thailand. Our club operates from its own privateairstrip near Lamphun just 25 minutes drive from Chiangmai
