Thailand TH-AI Passport implementation

Overview

Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society initiated the TH-AI Passport project to enhance national AI literacy and competitiveness. Before the official launch, Minister Chaichanok Chidchob defended the project against parliamentary scrutiny, asserting that the initiative complies with all legal regulations and has been designed to maximize benefits for both the state and its citizens.

Following these defenses, the registration phase for the program commenced on August 19, 2026. The project provides access to the AiPASS platform, which aggregates over 30 AI models from various providers, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and the Thai-developed Pathumma LLM. The program is designed to support up to five million users, such as students and civil servants, through a ‘Pay Per Active User’ model and includes educational courses to develop practical skills.
