The Thai government has recently intensified its regulation of capital flows. Local authorities have launched a comprehensive crackdown on gray and illegal sources of funds, including tightening controls on gold trading and implementing stricter regulatory requirements for the digital asset market.

In the digital asset sector, the government has explicitly stated that it will strictly enforce the travel rule. This means that transactions involving cross-border crypto asset transfers will face more standardized information disclosure and identity verification standards. This move reflects a global trend—countries are strengthening the tracking and management of digital asset flows, especially in anti-money laundering and combating illegal fund movements.

For crypto users and platforms operating in Thailand or engaging in transactions with Thailand, understanding these new rules will become increasingly important. Compliance operations and robust KYC processes will become essential conditions to meet.
