SIGNIFICANT BURDEN"It is still uncertain what additional requirements digital platform operators will have to comply with. Stringent requirements could place a significant burden on digital platform operators," Dhiraphol Suwanprateep, a partner at law firm Baker & McKenzie, told the Bangkok Post. The aim of this decree is to regulate digital platforms to be fair and transparent as well as improve consumer protection. Digital platforms outside Thailand that offer services to consumers in Thailand are also subject to this legislation. This will put a burden on digital operators to notify and inform officials about new services, he said.
