The Electronic Transactions Development Agency ("ETDA") has proposed a draft Royal Decree on Supervision of Digital Platform Services which are Subject to Prior Notification under the Electronic Transactions Act B.E. 2544 (2001) ("draft Royal Decree").
Under this draft Royal Decree, a digital platform operator is required to notify the ETDA before operating its business and meet certain reporting obligations. The draft Royal Decree also sets out obligations for certain digital platform operators operating outside of Thailand, such as the obligation to appoint a Point of Contact.
The draft Royal Decree went through a further public hearing process from 10 to 25 March 2022, with comments to be submitted to the Council of State for further review of the draft.
