It also set strict daily transfer limits for citizens, ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 baht ($1,500 to $6,000). This comes after suffering nearly 6 billion baht ($189 million) in damages from online scams in recent months. The freeze has left many online creators, small businesses, and foreign residents unable to access funds or process payments. The heavy-handed approach caused panic withdrawals and confusion. It offers a glimpse into how broad state measures against fraud can unintentionally lead to financial repression, cutting Thais off from their own money.

Since then, the volume of digital asset payments has grown more than fivefold to nearly $300 million in the first half of 2025. The University of San Andres allegedly pays its international faculty in Bitcoin. Carlos Neira, co-founder of Colombian wallet provider Meru, reports a staggering 6,600% increase in Bolivian users since the ban was lifted.

Last week, that law came into full effect. It criminalizes the use of VPNs, mandates that platforms store and hand over user data to officials upon request, and allows authorities to shut down Internet access at will. It also empowers regime-aligned law enforcement with the absolute authority to check citizens’ phones on the street. Penalties include up to six months in prison for sharing posts deemed “misinformation” or for using encrypted apps (like VPNs) to access information. Reports have already surfaced of police extorting bribes from people at checkpoints for having VPNs or “illegal social media” like X, Facebook, or YouTube on their phones. The law poses immediate threats to journalists and activists critical of the military regime or using privacy tools. Amid the junta’s effort to stage a sham election to expand militarized control, this deepens Burma’s retreat from civic freedoms and shrinks the already fragile space for independent voices and the free flow of information.
