Think you will find most Thais will let you keep your gun in their name at your home, really isn't a major crime, well, unless you use it in anger that is

Don't forget, Thais have the right to protect their home and property and that is a valid reason for getting a gun license, not quite the same as the UK.
Infact part of the application for the license you have to list the valuable possesions you own and put a baht value on them.

Those applications could be a nice shopping list for any burglars with the right connections

^If I remember correctly it was like they wanted to see about a million bahts worth of possessions, we stuck stuff down like the car, truck, water pump of all things, a couple of the tvs plus a couple of other things to take it over the 1 million mark, also had to have 100,000 baht in the bank of the applicant on the day of application.

Thinking about it it may have been 100,000k worth of possessions as I didn't have a car then, well not my own, but that must have gone up by now.

It's okay for some dumb arse non educated yokel in Isaan to have one rather than some highly educated farang to have one. The country is a bollix.

Correct
But you can take it to a gunsmith for repair or sale.
When the BiB stop you that's all you have to say.
