Concerns Raised Over Thailand's 'TH-Ai Passport' Initiative
Opposition MP Rukchanok Srinork has criticized the government's 'TH-Ai Passport' project, citing low adoption rates and user dissatisfaction.
On September 2, 2026, Rukchanok Srinork, a list MP for the People's Party, publicly questioned the efficacy of the 'TH-Ai Passport' initiative. According to her social media statement, the project has struggled to meet its ambitious target of 5 million registrations, with current figures showing approximately 1.5 million sign-ups and only about 100,000 active users.
Srinork noted that despite significant expenditure on promotional campaigns involving numerous micro-influencers, public feedback remains largely negative. Users have reported that the platform is hindered by excessive limitations, with many suggesting that free, alternative AI tools currently offer better functionality and ease of use.
For residents and travelers, this development highlights potential friction in the adoption of new government-backed digital services. While the project was intended to streamline processes, the reported technical constraints and low engagement suggest that the platform may not yet be meeting user expectations. It remains to be confirmed how the government will respond to these criticisms or if there are plans to adjust the platform's features to address the reported usability issues. As of now, the project's long-term viability and its role in the national digital infrastructure remain subjects of public debate.
