Bangkok: Register for TH-AI Passport to verify your information and ensure security. "Chaiyanok" affirms that TH AI-Passport's cybersecurity system meets the highest standards, with personal data stored in Thailand and no risk of leakage. He is preparing to collaborate with global partners such as Google and Microsoft to provide technical details on August 28. He also ordered increased vigilance regarding potential flooding in Nan province after discovering the soil is becoming saturated.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Chaiyanok Chidchob, Minister of Digital Economy and Society (DE), revealed the progress of the TH AI-Passport project, stating that currently, more than 1 million users have registered, with less than 4 million remaining slots. He urged the public to register quickly to secure their rights. Regarding the system congestion experienced during the first few days due to high user traffic, he said that the system is being urgently resolved to reduce overload. He recommended that if anyone encounters problems registering through the "Tang Rat" application, they should try switching to the "ThaID" (Thai Dee) system instead.
Regarding concerns about the security of personal data, Mr. Chaiyanok confirmed that all identity verification data is stored within the country. Technically, the system uses a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which acts like the brain for calculations. Once processing is complete, the system immediately deletes the data; it will not be used or stored abroad. Furthermore, an official launch event will be held on August 28, 2026, in collaboration with leading technology companies such as Google and Microsoft, to explain all the technical details and address any public concerns.
Mr. Chaiyanok also expressed concern about the flood situation in Nan province, stating that the water level is now receding and that officials under the Ministry have been mobilized to support the area. However, close monitoring is still necessary because the soil is becoming saturated, and further rainfall could cause flash floods again.
