Thai Government Launches 'Jaeng Rat' Feature on Thang Rat App
The Thai government has introduced a new 'Jaeng Rat' feature on the Thang Rat application to streamline reporting of issues involving government agencies.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 16, 2026, the Thai government has officially launched the 'Jaeng Rat' (Report to State) feature integrated into the Thang Rat mobile application. This digital initiative is designed to provide a comprehensive, centralized platform for citizens to report problems or grievances related to government agencies.
Government spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek stated that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has prioritized the prevention and resolution of online threats and public service issues affecting the population. By consolidating reporting channels into a single application, the government aims to improve the efficiency of administrative responses and enhance public oversight of state services.
For residents and long-term visitors in Thailand, this development may offer a more accessible way to engage with government services and report administrative concerns digitally. However, the full scope of the reporting categories and the specific response timelines for issues submitted through the app remain to be confirmed. Users are encouraged to monitor official government announcements for updates on how this tool will be integrated into broader public service workflows.
