SOLICITATION COMPARATIVE SYSTEM OF THE KINGDOM OF THAILAND AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES

Abstract

The Kingdom of Thailand's law governing solicitation has been in force for a long time. However, it has never been amended to be in line with current social conditions, with the development of technology becoming an essential part of it. This makes it impossible to control and monitor current solicitation that often uses the internet as a medium. And false solicitations frequently occur. Previously. Fundraising was usually for the public’s benefit. By requesting money or any other assets to benefit the public. Whether it is building bridges. Schools. Renovating buildings. Digging wells. But later. There are groups of people who rely on the kindness of others to gain personal benefit from soliciting by deception or intimidation. It becomes a form of crime. The idea was born that the state must control and inspect solicitation by using the law as a tool. The Solicitation Control Act, B.E. 2487 (1944) is a law whose objective is to control solicitation. There are a total of 21 provisions, which have been in force for a long time and have never been amended or improved, even though ministerial regulations or ministry announcements have been issued to set guidelines for enforcement more clearly. However, it was found that there was very little compliance or punishment according to this law. Compared to the increasing number of solicitations as technology advances. When we can communicate more easily and quickly, People will use those channels to solicit money when the law does not specify all types of solicitation and lacks precise verification methods. As a result, legal measures do not achieve the goal of controlling solicitation in society.
