Acting Secretary-General Trairat Viriyasirikul has stated that the Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is prepared to facilitate official meetings to ensure regulatory compliance.
On September 3, 2026, Thai Post reported that Trairat Viriyasirikul, the acting head of the Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), addressed legal concerns regarding the commission's operational procedures. Trairat emphasized that the NBTC Office is fully prepared to organize and facilitate meetings for the commissioners, ensuring that they can perform their duties in strict accordance with the law.
According to the report, the office is committed to adhering to established protocols to ensure fairness for government officials carrying out their professional responsibilities.

For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this development is significant as the NBTC oversees critical infrastructure, including telecommunications, internet services, and broadcasting standards. Stable and functional governance within the commission is essential for the consistent delivery of these services. While the office has expressed its readiness to proceed with official meetings, it remains to be confirmed how these administrative efforts will impact the timeline for pending regulatory decisions or potential changes to telecommunications policies. Observers are waiting to see if these procedural clarifications will lead to increased stability in the commission's decision-making processes.
