On October 17, 2026, Mr. Chaichanok Chidchob, Minister of Digital Economy and Society (MDES), presided over the opening ceremony of the 3rd DE Digital Shield Forum, held in Uthai Thani province. The event aimed to raise awareness and understanding of cybersecurity and the use of digital technology among the local population.

During the event, the Digital Government Development Agency (DGA), led by Ms. Warisnan Pattanataweekit, Director of Corporate Communications and International Cooperation, led a team to host an activity booth to promote and educate attendees, emphasizing the importance of accessing government services through convenient and fast online channels.

A key highlight of the event was inviting citizens to download and use the "Tang Rath" application, the primary platform that integrates services from various government agencies into a single location. This initiative aims to reduce bureaucratic procedures and enhance convenience for citizens when conducting various transactions via their smartphones.

Furthermore, the team demonstrated the use of the "Jaeng Rath" service, a new feature that allows citizens to report incidents or file complaints directly to the relevant agencies through the application, ensuring that government problem-solving becomes faster and more efficient.

This event is part of the government's policy to drive Thailand toward a fully digital society, focusing on ensuring that all groups of citizens can access technology and government services equally and securely.
