Anutin calls for quick action against money laundering: Thailand under pressure!
There is a sense of alarm in Thailand: Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has called for comprehensive measures against money laundering and online fraud in an urgent appeal to the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO). In a meeting with senior agency officials on November 3, 2025, Anutin made it clear that combating the growing threat of fraud networks and “dark” capital is of paramount importance to national stability. There is an acute risk of international sanctions, which could not only jeopardize investor confidence but also put pressure on the entire Thai economy. Thai Examiner reports that Anutin demanded the agency act quickly to prevent further escalation of political tensions caused by scandals surrounding Cambodian fraud centers.
Thousands of people lose their savings every week due to the schemes of these fraud networks. The increase in cryptocurrency money laundering methods and fake identities is alarming. Anutin stresses that the government must act decisively to stop the widespread threat of online fraud. Insiders say over 20 billion baht in assets from online fraud have already been seized, and more than 800,000 proxy bank accounts used by the fraudsters have been frozen. Bangkok Post highlights that authorities are preparing an agreement to intensively combat online fraud.
Cybercrime crackdown
Another step in the fight against cybercrime was a nationwide raid that took place in late October and resulted in 73 arrests, including the arrest of a police officer suspected of opening money laundering accounts for fraudsters. Officials seized assets worth over 500 million baht. Thailand has committed to making fighting cybercrime a national priority, which was evident in Anutin's instructions to increase the efficiency of authorities. ThailandTip reports a significant return of damages recovered in recent operations, with a total amount of over 1.4 billion baht.
The need for advanced technological solutions is essential, as the bureaucracy often only takes action against the “small fish” while the masterminds get away scot-free. Critics, including People's Party MP Rangsiman Rome, accuse the government of underestimating the challenge. It is to be hoped that the government's next measures will not just remain lip service, but will actually bring about a change in the fight against the criminal networks operating in the country and beyond. If the government continues to fail, there is a risk not only of internal unrest, but also of loss of international credibility.
Through international collaboration, particularly with partners such as South Korea, and the use of AI-powered surveillance technologies, the government will strive to reduce the impact of online crime and regain citizens' trust. What remains is hope that Thailand takes a strong stance to protect citizens from the shadowy world of online fraud and strengthen controls at the borders, especially given the influx of people from Myanmar involved in fraudulent activities.
