ETDA is developing a new version of the Electronic Transactions Act to strengthen trust in these interactions.
The Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) is drafting a new electronic transactions law to replace the 2001 edition, aiming to strengthen trust in these interactions, facilitate their use, and improve the confidence of participants.These improvements are expected to enhance Thailand's competitiveness in a digital society, said the agency.
An online public hearing on the draft was held from May 12 to June 15. The new law is scheduled to come into force 180 days after publication in the Royal Gazette, according to the draft.
The new law does not apply to transactions that require people to show up in person in front of officials, or transactions where people have to express consent in person in front of officials, or transactions that are inappropriate as e-transactions.
Why is a new version of the law needed?
