Thailand's government has rolled out a coordinated regulatory system covering both precious metals and crypto assets to tighten control over illicit financial activities. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has mandated stricter enforcement of the Travel Rule protocol—a key compliance requirement that tracks cross-border cryptocurrency movements. This move reflects growing pressure on Southeast Asian markets to strengthen anti-money laundering measures and enhance transaction transparency across digital asset platforms. The framework aims to align Thailand's crypto oversight with international standards while maintaining market accessibility for legitimate participants.

Another regulatory package, let's forget about the Travel Rule.

Coming to clean up the crypto scene again? Thailand's move is quite tough.

Thailand is tightening up again. The travel rule stuff is really annoying, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Coming to tighten again? The Travel Rule doesn't really benefit small retail investors.

Thailand's move is a bit harsh, with the Travel Rule restricting cross-border flows... It feels like small retail investors are about to be targeted again.

Thailand is doing this basically to shut down the gray industry chain. The Travel Rule should have been implemented a long time ago.
