System flags dubious links
Deputy government spokeswoman Sasikarn Wattanachan said the initiative, led by Industry Minister Akanat Promphan, was rolled out on July 7. The system operates 24/7, analysing suspicious product links for potential violations of Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) rules.
Over the past five months of a pilot test, TISI Watch has flagged more than 125,000 suspicious links and taken down over 2,800. Legal action is under way in 777 cases, particularly involving major e-commerce platforms.
Products frequently found to be non-compliant include food-grade plastics, children's toys, motorcycle exhaust pipes, power strips, power banks and helmets -- all posing safety risks.
The system will soon expand to detect counterfeit goods and fake licences, with a public tip-off channel available via the "Report to Industry" Line account, she said.

FinMin to propose Vitai for central bank chief, sources and Thai media say
Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira will on Tuesday propose to cabinet state-owned bank head Vitai Ratanakorn as the next central bank chief, according to two government sources and two Thai media outlets. The appointment of Mr Vitai, 54, the president and CEO of the Government Savings Bank, would be subject to cabinet and royal approval. He would serve a five-year term starting Oct 1. The government sources declined to be identified because they were not authorised to speak to media. The finance minister's decision, from among two candidates, was reported by the Manager and Thansettakij news outlets on Tuesday. If appointed, Mr Vitai would succeed Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, who could not seek a second term as he has reached retirement age. Mr Vitai has a master's degree in finance from Drexel University in the United States, as well as degrees in economics and law from Chulalongkorn and Thammasat universities. The new governor faces a tough task of supporting a struggling economy facing tepid consumption, high household debt and steep US tariffs, with limited monetary policy room.
