Transparency or risk fine, warning for online sellers
Online traders must display prices and details of products and services or risk being fined, the government has warned. Nuntawan Sakuntanaga, director-general of the Internal Trade Department, said the Royal Gazette recently published the announcement of the central commission on prices of goods and services signed by Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantraporn. The new regime aims to give consumers a choice in comparing the prices of goods and services before making a decision to buy the products or use the services online. Online traders are also required to display details about service charges, delivery charges and product characteristics, size and weight in writing or print on the products and for services in Thai or foreign languages.
