The Cabinet met on Tuesday 10 November B.E. 2569 (2026). Nothing it approved is law yet. Its main decision is a national policy on data centres. Until the detailed rules are announced, the approvals that data centre projects need are likely to stay slow. The Cabinet also cleared a draft mandatory standard for steel pipes, new fruit export protocols with China, a special government holiday on 16 December and the signing of a mediation convention.
The Council of Ministers met in Udon Thani on Tuesday 3 November B.E. 2569 (2026). It approved one draft ministerial regulation, three bills and Thailand's application to an international data transfer system. None of these measures has yet acquired the force of law. A ministerial regulation acquires binding effect only upon publication in the Royal Gazette, the official journal in which Thai legislation is promulgated. A bill must first be passed by Parliament and then published.
The Council of Ministers met on Tuesday 27 October B.E. 2569 (2026). It approved no new legislation of direct consequence for business. Its principal decisions were three energy programmes with a combined budget of approximately THB 71.6 billion, each financed by borrowing under an emergency decree of 2026.
The Council of Ministers met on Tuesday 20 October B.E. 2569 (2026). Most of its decisions of relevance to business are not yet law. A new Thai regulation or notification binds only once it is published in the Royal Gazette, the official journal in which legislation is promulgated, and from the date it specifies; most of the measures below have yet to be issued and published.
The Council of Ministers (the Cabinet) met on Tuesday 6 October B.E. 2569 (2026). None of the draft instruments it approved is yet in force. A draft has no legal effect until it is published in the Royal Gazette, the official journal in which Thai legislation is promulgated (and, for a draft Act, until it has also passed Parliament and received royal assent). It then takes effect on the date its own text specifies.
The Council of Ministers met on Tuesday 29 September B.E. 2569 (2026). It approved several draft instruments of direct relevance to businesses operating in Thailand, none of which is yet in force. Under Thai law, a draft instrument acquires binding effect only upon publication in the Royal Gazette, the official journal in which legislation is promulgated. This alert sets out, for each decision, the businesses concerned, its current legal status and the steps we recommend.
The Council of Ministers met on Tuesday 22 September B.E. 2569 (2026). Two of its decisions have immediate consequences for businesses operating in Thailand. Three further decisions approved draft instruments in principle; these create no present obligation but warrant monitoring. This alert identifies the status of each.
The Thai Cabinet met on Tuesday 15 September B.E. 2569 (2026), chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn. Below are the four decisions that matter to business, each marked with whether it is in force or still a draft, plus a short watch list of things that need no action yet.
The 21 July session, chaired by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, was quieter than the two before it: no migrant-workforce rescue, no ministry restructuring. Its weight sits in three places: a draft Royal Decree doubling the tax deduction for supporting the Social Enterprise Promotion Fund, a land-use amendment for two Chiang Mai districts, and the follow-through machinery for the fifteen Thailand-China agreements signed during the Prime Minister's visit.
