Thailand Targets Substandard Online Goods in Major Clean-Up
File photo courtesy: Wikipedia In an assertive move to protect consumers and bolster trust in e-commerce, Thailand's Commerce Ministry is spearheading an initiative to crack down on substandard and non-compliant goods sold online. The campaign, involving a collaboration with 16 governmental agencies and major e-commerce platforms, aims to enhance the integrity and safety of online marketplaces. Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan announced that any substandard products discovered online will be swiftly removed under a newly adopted "notice and takedown" policy. This concerted effort is designed to shield consumers from low-quality items and promote confidence in digital shopping environments. Central to this strategy is a collective effort by government entities and e-commerce operators to enhance product monitoring, heighten consumer awareness, and safeguard local small and medium-sized enterprises. The objective is not only to prune online shelves of inferior goods but also to build a more robust and transparent e-commerce landscape. A crucial element of the initiative involves the dissemination of educational materials to both consumers and sellers, emphasising the importance of engaging in transactions involving safe and legally compliant products. Mr. Pichai revealed plans to introduce guidelines for identifying and managing substandard products, streamlining processes and ensuring swift action against violations. The coalition fighting subpar goods comprises key agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI), Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB), and others, alongside influential e-commerce platforms like Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, and eBay. This formidable alliance underscores the seriousness of the crackdown and the resources being mobilised to tackle the issue. Reflecting on past enforcement efforts, Mr. Pichai highlighted that between October and December 2024, the FDA, TISI, OCPB, and the Customs Department collectively identified 16,651 violations relating to product safety and quality, resulting in damages totalling 984 million Thai Baht. As stricter measures were enforced, the presence of foreign goods on e-commerce platforms saw a decline, evidencing the impact of these robust actions. From July to December 2024, the monthly sales average of foreign goods dwindled to 3.65 billion Thai Baht, down from 3.96 billion in the preceding months. Through these combined efforts, the Commerce Ministry aims to foster a safer, more reliable digital market, benefitting consumers and merchants alike. This initiative marks a significant step towards enhancing Thailand's e-commerce reliability and protecting its vast community of online shoppers from substandard and potentially harmful goods, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-02-03 -

Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
You're the naive one thinking it's me. You spout data about enforcement, infrastructure and road conditions but completely miss the fact that it's the driver's responsibility to drive safely, and that's their deal. Not the testers at the motor vehicle offices, not the police, not the road departments, nor anyone else. It's actually you that's cherry picking. It appears that you read a little of what others write, skim, and make a reply based on what you think is right and dismiss what others say, thinking we're wrong . Stop assuming. You have no idea how much I nor anyone else here knows. We see accidents and bad driving habits daily. This isn't lies. We all know about the lack of enforcement and bad roads here, as well as the lack of training drivers get. Accidents happen here because of all of this, but it's still on the DRIVER to drive safe. Common sense is lacking here, in many areas, and driving is one of them. You make it sound like they have an excuse for driving bad because of their lack of training. Many here have taken driving tests, and seen what goes on in the classes. Videos are shown and people are on their phones, and miss the safety instructions, and are given licenses . Many don't drive with licenses. Ignorance of laws isn't anyone's fault but the person involved. Again, some of what you've said is right, and some is wrong. Bringing race into this is ignorance, and that's shows the intellectual equivalence of a teenager who doesn't know better. You can join the list of those here that assume they know others, or you can stop assuming and digest what others are saying. -
