PDPC Launches New Data Protection Center in Phuket

The Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) has officially established a new PDPA Center in Phuket, according to a report by Thai Post on September 2, 2026. This facility is designed to serve as a regional hub for the southern provinces, aiming to bring data protection services closer to the public.

For residents and expatriates living in Thailand, this center provides a direct point of contact for seeking advice on the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). It is also equipped to receive formal complaints regarding data privacy violations. For travellers, while the center primarily addresses local regulatory concerns, the presence of this office underscores Thailand's ongoing commitment to enforcing digital privacy standards across its major tourism hubs.

By decentralizing these services from Bangkok to Phuket, the PDPC intends to improve accessibility for those who may have previously found it difficult to engage with the committee. The center will focus on listening to public concerns, offering professional consultations, and managing grievances related to personal data handling.

At this stage, the specific operational hours and the full scope of administrative services available to non-Thai speakers remain to be confirmed. Those seeking assistance are encouraged to monitor official PDPC announcements for updates on how the center will handle international inquiries or specific cases involving foreign nationals.
