The government has found 767 factories operating unlawfully this year, 53% of them in the EEC (Chon Buri, Rayong, Chachoengsao). 131 were ordered to suspend, 636 told to fix problems, and 391 face legal action. Inspections now cross-check waste handling, water and electricity use, raw material use and output against production data, and the i-Auditor system sends findings to field inspectors. If you run a factory, check that your licence or notification matches your actual operations, and that your waste records, water and power use reconcile with your output. Members of the public can also report factories via the "Jaeng Ut" platform.
