Thailand is all set to become
the next country to pass legislation on Electronic Commerce similar to the
Indian Information Technology Act 2000. After two long years since the
first draft, the Parliament has recently passed the final version which is set
to become law from April 3, 2002 after the mandatory assent from the King.
The law is based on the
UNCITRAL Model law and has provisions similar to that of ITA-2000.
A more detailed analysis is
kept pending since the law has been enacted in the local language and an
official English version is still not available.
