The Thai Prime Minister has ordered stricter regulations on gold trading and digital assets to combat illicit funds.

According to The Odaily Thailand, Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has officially launched a comprehensive campaign against gray and illicit financial flows, ordering stricter regulations on gold trading and digital assets. In the digital asset sector, the government will strictly enforce the Travel Rule, requiring the identification of senders and receivers in all wallet-to-wallet transfers to eliminate anonymity. Furthermore, Thailand will establish a national Data Bureau to centrally manage financial data, enabling regulators to track suspicious transactions in real time. Currently, the Thai government is instructing the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to lower the reporting threshold for gold transactions from 2 million baht and is studying the possibility of imposing a special business tax on online gold trading.
