Siam Legal International, a Bangkok-based law firm with over 22 years of litigation experience, has expanded its Cyber Law Unit services to address the growing threat of online fraud affecting both Thai nationals and foreign residents. This development comes as Thailand announces plans for a 200 million baht AI-powered centralized data system to combat digital scams, scheduled for deployment in the third quarter of 2026.

The new government system, managed by the Anti-Online Scam Operation Center (AOC), will connect multiple government agencies and enable real-time data sharing to combat fake calls, phishing schemes, mule accounts, and other digital threats. The initiative represents a significant step in Thailand's efforts to protect individuals and businesses operating within its digital landscape.

Recent statistics from the AOC indicate progress in combating cybercrime throughout 2025, with reported decreases in scam incidents and financial damages. The success has prompted the government to upgrade the AOC to full departmental status, signaling a long-term commitment to digital security.

"The escalating sophistication of online fraud requires both technological solutions and experienced legal representation," said Khun Sivasak, a Senior Lawyer at Siam Legal International. "Our Cyber Law Unit combines decades of litigation experience with a comprehensive understanding of Thailand's evolving digital crime landscape to help victims seek justice, recover compensation, and stop ongoing threats."

The government's multi-pronged approach includes several complementary initiatives beyond the AI system. As of April 2025, amended regulations hold banks and telecommunications providers liable for customer losses related to fraud. The Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA) has launched the Thailand Digital Catalog to raise quality standards across digital services. Additionally, the Digital Skill Roadmap aims to train one million skilled professionals annually to strengthen the nation's cyber resilience.

For expatriates and foreign businesses operating in Thailand, these developments are particularly significant. Many international residents may be unfamiliar with local digital threats and regulatory frameworks, making them vulnerable targets for sophisticated scam operations.

Siam Legal International's expanded services are overseen by Khun Sivasak, who brings over 30 years of experience in commercial and corporate law, governance, compliance, and risk management. His career includes service on national committees contributing to legal policy development and anti-corruption initiatives. Under his leadership, the Cyber Law Unit provides both reactive support for victims and proactive advisory services on preventive digital security measures.

The firm's integrated approach allows its cybercrime lawyers Thailand team to collaborate with property, corporate, family, and immigration divisions, ensuring comprehensive support for clients whose cases may span multiple legal areas. This full-service capability proves essential when cybercrime intersects with business operations, property transactions, or immigration status.

Siam Legal International specializes in various legal services including litigation for personal and corporate matters in both civil and criminal law. The firm maintains offices in Bangkok and provides services ranging from business registration and visa assistance to family law and estate planning. Their expansion into specialized cybercrime representation reflects the growing demand for expert legal support in Thailand's rapidly digitalizing economy.
