Government moves forward with crackdown on new forms of transnational crime
On August 25, 2026, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul presided over a press conference regarding the results of anti-crime operations at the Phakdi Bodin Building, Government House, emphasizing the importance of addressing new forms of crime that are impacting the safety of the public in Thailand.
The press conference focused on measures to intercept transnational crime, which has currently developed more complex methods through online channels and modern technology. Therefore, the government must adapt its operational strategies to keep pace with the situation in order to prevent criminal groups from using Thailand as a base for their illicit activities.
Mr. Anutin spoke about the cooperation between relevant government agencies, which must work closely together to strictly monitor and investigate these criminal networks. Additionally, technology is being utilized to assist in surveillance and data analysis to ensure that suppression efforts are more efficient and rapid.
The government affirms that it will continue to pursue this matter to build confidence among the public and tourists, and will upgrade security measures in all dimensions to eliminate the problem of transnational crime from Thai society in the long term.
