Subscribe to Updates

On March 28, two lawyers from Tilleke & Gibbins’ corporate and commercial group—Nopparat Lalitkomon, senior associate, and Gvavalin Mahakunkitchareon, associate—spoke at an event titled “PDPA Is Coming: What Should I Be Doing Now?” hosted by the Thai-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce (NorCham) in Bangkok.

During the in-person session, Gvavalin and Nopparat presented on the following topics:

  • Impact of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) on Thai companies;
  • Advice on how to prepare and implement PDPA compliance procedures;
  • Overview of PDPA subordinate regulations; and
  • Penalties for failure to comply with PDPA provisions, and key lessons from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU.

As the PDPA is set to come into effect on June 1, 2022, after repeated delays caused by the pandemic, the session was very well attended by representatives of companies looking to ensure that their data protection policies and practices are in line with the new law.
