Transport Thailand Tightens Grip on Ride-Hailing with Tough New Rules
Reference picture courtesy of The Nation Thailand's Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) has introduced stringent regulations for ride-hailing services. All drivers must now register their vehicles as public transport and have a public transport driving licence. These new measures are set to take effect 90 days after the announcement on 9 July. The Royal Gazette has detailed that digital platforms for public hire cars and motorcycles must meet requirements under Article 18 (3) of the 2022 Royal Decree on digital platform business operations. This move prioritises security and reliability concerning state interests in security, health, environment, energy, and communications. A joint committee of relevant state agencies has invoked powers under Article 21 of the Royal Decree, following decisions from meetings on 19 November 2024 and 9 April 2025. The announcement imposes conditions for digital platforms, ensuring a higher standard of service safety and compliance with national regulations. Driver responsibilities now include daily face scans, GPS tracking, and mandatory in-app communication, enhancing monitoring and accountability across the board. The rules aim to address concerns over safety and service standards while strengthening state oversight. These changes come as the government seeks to balance technological advancement with public safety, making sure that modernisation does not compromise security. The focus is on maintaining the integrity of services affecting transport, logistics, and public utilities. Ride-hailing companies must now align with these strict standards, reflecting a broader governmental push towards robust digital platform governance. Compliance will be crucial for continued operation, ensuring passenger safety and improved service delivery. With these regulations set to be enforced soon, the industry's adaptability will be tested. Companies must move quickly to update protocols and make necessary adjustments to meet the newly laid-out criteria. The impact on drivers and companies alike could be substantial, with adaptation costs potentially influencing pricing structures. These changes highlight the broader implications of regulatory shifts in the digital economy. The evolving regulatory landscape marks a defining moment for Thailand's digital transportation sector. Both opportunities and challenges lie ahead as stakeholders adjust to these significant new demands. Adapted by ASEAN Now from [source] 2025-07-10 -
