The government's TH-AI Passport opened registration on 19 August, with about 700,000 sign-ups on day one, and the full launch is set for 31 August. The free tier gives unlimited chat on a low-end model, while the Creator tier gets 10,000 credits a day (roughly 20-50 chats). An IMC Institute expert says it will not replace paid AI subscriptions such as ChatGPT Plus, so the promised savings of about 600 baht a month are unlikely. Before relying on it, check the data-processing terms: the user agreement allows personal data to be processed overseas. For an SME, treat it as a free trial for staff training, not a cost cut on existing AI tools.
