Thailand's SEC (ก.ล.ต.) has issued "Travel Rule" guidelines effective February 27, 2027, requiring digital asset operators to collect and verify sender and recipient information on all crypto transfers. Transfers over 30,000 baht require additional KYC data (recipient location, province/city, country, and business ID if applicable); self-hosted wallet transfers above this threshold need ownership verification.

The rule aligns Thailand with FATF standards to combat money laundering and terrorist financing while not affecting domestic trading or THB withdrawals.
