Thailand to delay enforcement of new data protection legislation
According to the Bangkok Post, a decree to postpone the enforcement of most provisions of Thailand’s new personal data protection act (PDPA) will soon be discussed by the government. The enforcement of the legislation is likely to be postponed by a year (except for chapters 1 and 4). The deferral would ward off complaints, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises that might not be prepared for the legislation.
