Grab Conversations: Data Protection in Southeast Asia Episode 2 - Thailand's Regulatory Perspective

Personal data protection laws are being developed and enforced in countries across Southeast Asia. Data localisation is a contentious issue within these laws, with some countries imposing restrictions on the free movement of data outside national borders while others support a trusted and open environment for cross-border data flows. In this second episode of Grab’s ‘Data Protection in SEA’ series, we sat down with Dr Prapanpong Khumon, Vice Dean at the School of Law, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce to navigate the regional data protection landscape, understand Thailand’s stance on cross-border data flows, and identify the tools available in the ASEAN region that ensure cross-border data flows do not compromise the data privacy of individuals.
