Common Questions

Straightforward answers to questions we hear often from clients working through PDPA compliance.

Does PDPA apply to our organisation if we are a foreign company operating in Thailand?

Thailand's PDPA applies to any entity that collects, uses, or discloses personal data of individuals located in Thailand — regardless of where the organisation itself is headquartered. Foreign companies with Thai customers or employees, or those processing data belonging to individuals in Thailand, are generally subject to the Act's requirements.

How long does a compliance assessment typically take?

A standard PDPA Compliance Assessment generally takes two to four weeks from the point of initial data gathering, depending on the complexity of your data processing activities and the size of your organisation. We work to your schedule and can discuss phased delivery where needed.

Is appointing a Data Protection Officer mandatory under Thai PDPA?

Under the Thai PDPA, a DPO is required for data controllers and processors whose core activities involve large-scale processing of sensitive personal data or systematic monitoring of data subjects. Even where a formal DPO is not strictly required, having a designated privacy point of contact supports accountability and regulatory responsiveness.

What are the penalties for non-compliance with the PDPA?

The Thai PDPA provides for administrative fines of up to ฿5 million per violation, criminal penalties including imprisonment in certain circumstances, and civil liability claims from affected data subjects. Enforcement activity by the Personal Data Protection Committee has been increasing since full enforcement commenced.

Can Bodhi Reach assist with cross-border data transfer arrangements?

Yes. Cross-border transfer assessment is included within the PDPA Compliance Assessment and is also addressed within our documentation suite. This covers adequacy determinations, appropriate safeguard mechanisms, and the contractual provisions required when transferring personal data outside Thailand.

How is the DPO Advisory service structured on a day-to-day basis?

The advisory arrangement is flexible and adapts to your organisation's pace. It typically includes a defined number of consultation hours per month, access to the advisory team for ad hoc questions, staff awareness sessions as needed, and a formal quarterly report reviewing compliance status and emerging enforcement issues.
