Fit-for-Purpose Digital Platform Regulations: Navigating Thailand’s Economic Future
Thailand is at a pivotal point in shaping its digital economy and must adopt adaptive, fit-for-purpose regulations to ensure sustainable growth amid rapid technological change, particularly the rise of AI. Reconsidering the Platform Economy Act (PEA), the country aims to strike a balance between innovation, public interest, and competitiveness.
Key recommendations include fostering public-private collaboration, using regulatory sandboxes, ensuring fair competition, and learning from global best practices. A flexible, principles-based regulatory framework is essential for building a resilient, future-ready platform economy that attracts investment and drives inclusive digital transformation.
