Thai Ministry of Digital Economy Switches AI Passport Domain to .go.th

On August 21, 2026, the Thai Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES) announced a change to the domain used for its 'AI Passport' platform. According to Prachachat Business, the Ministry has officially moved the service from a .net domain to a .go.th domain. This decision follows public feedback and concerns regarding the security and official status of the previous domain.

Minister of Digital Economy and Society Chaiychanok Chidchob directed Permanent Secretary Patchara Anuntasilpa to oversee the transition. During the announcement, the Ministry acknowledged that the initial choice of the .net domain was a oversight, with officials expressing regret for the lack of foresight regarding public perception and security standards.

For residents and travelers, this change is significant as it reinforces the importance of verifying official government portals. Using a .go.th domain is a standard practice for Thai government entities to ensure authenticity and protect users from potential phishing or fraudulent sites. While the domain has been updated, users should continue to exercise caution when providing personal information online. It remains to be confirmed if any further security upgrades or additional verification features will be integrated into the AI Passport platform in the near future. Users are advised to ensure they are accessing the correct, updated government URL when interacting with digital immigration or identification services.
