  • Khemmapat Trisadikoon, ‘The Legal Policy Modifications on Alcoholic Beverage Production Control in Thailand’ (2022) 2 Chulalongkorn University Law Journal 73. Abstract: Currently, the alcoholic beverages production business is limited to large operators, this condition arises from the laws, rules and regulations of the state relating to production of alcoholic beverages. Thailand has two justifications to regulate the alcohol production: (1) a source of tax revenue and (2) to discourage the consumption of a product that affects public health. Historically, the public health aspect has been the main driving force behind the implementation of the current regulatory approach, which overshadow the control of quality of alcohol production. The consequence is that the regulation hindered the development of the alcohol production industry, especially from small and niche entrepreneurs. This article compares Thailand’s legal policies (law and regulation) with those in ASEAN countries such as Singapore and Vietnam, which are jurisdiction that has relaxed and refocus on regulating the quality and safety of the alcoholic beverages production, rather than a licensing system. The article argue that the subject is timely for a policy reform and proposal a new approach to the regulation of alcohol production in Thailand which focus on qualifications and conditions of the producer and lower the barrier to entry for the market for new operators or existing producer that are operating outside the country.

  • Khemmapat Trisadikoon, ‘A Comparative Study of Regulatory Framework Governing Capital Market Audit Firms and The Suggestions to Amend Thailand’s Related Legal Frameworks’ (2022) 2 Thammasat Law Journal 388. Abstract: Auditing and reviewing financial reports is a key mechanism for ensuring transparency and protecting capital market investments of listed companies. Capital market auditors and audit firms play important roles as gatekeepers monitoring facts and financial statuses of companies and presenting related information to investors for use in making informed decisions about legal rights to control listed companies. Nevertheless, capital market auditor and audit firm supervisory law are now inadequately emphasized. Supervision pertains to individual capital market auditors rather than audit firms, lessening capital market auditor supervision efficiency. This is because supervision does not address capital market audit firms that play important roles in controlling the performance of capital market auditors. In addition, gaps may exist in governance for managing conflicts of interest. This article studied principles of corporate governance of audit firms as a framework for describing international comparative conditions for capital market auditor and audit firm supervision in Thailand and formulated suggestions for improving pertinent Thai laws.
