- Thailand | New Anti-Scam Measures Implemented

The Bank of Thailand announced new measures to enhance monitoring of payments, financial institutions, and money transfer services to combat online scams and financial fraud. Governor Vitai Ratanakorn said the central bank will step up due diligence, prioritize investigations into suspicious transactions, and require immediate reporting of irregular activity from banks, currency exchanges, and gold traders. While the policy aims to disrupt transnational criminal networks engaged in online scams and human trafficking, experts fear such a development may lead to broader surveillance of digital transactions and payments, which could threaten the privacy of many Southeast Asian dissidents based in Thailand.
