Legal Measures Concerning Rewards Points in Modern Trade

2025-04-24T06:49:14+07:00

Modern retail businesses operators widely use promotional strategies involving reward points to incentivize consumers to purchase products. However, due to the unclear legal status of reward points and the absence of legal measures in Thailand to regulate them, consumers are often exploited in terms of contracts, which also impacts market competition among business operators and the protection of consumers’ personal data.

This research aims to study the legal measures related to reward points in modern retail businesses concerning consumer protection in contracts, competition, and personal data protection. The study focuses on countries or international organizations that have successfully implemented legal measures, such as Canada, the United States, and the European Union. The study found that reward points are classified as property under the category of personal rights. It is recommended that the Consumer Protection Act B.E. 2522 be amended to include provisions on reward points. Additionally, criteria should be established for assessing market boundaries and product costs arising from loyalty point-based discounts, as well as clear guidelines for offering incentives to obtain consumers' consent regarding personal data.

2025-04-08T15:53:42+07:00

This research aims to study the situation of PM 2.5 fine particulate matter and administrative legal measures in Thailand by comparing them with those of China and England, which have made significant progress in air pollution management. The findings reveal that key problems in Thailand's legal measures include overlapping and lack of unified legislation, inappropriate standards and targets, ineffective law enforcement mechanisms, limitations in public participation and access to justice, and insufficient decentralization and local government empowerment. This research proposes solutions through legal and organizational reforms, establishing stringent and clear standards and targets, enhancing law enforcement effectiveness, promoting public participation and access to justice, and strengthening local administrative organizations. These recommendations adapt successful lessons from China and England to suit Thailand's context.

2025-07-07T09:20:31+07:00

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the factors affecting the anxiety of primary school English teachers

in Samut Prakan Province. The sample consisted of 80 teachers, including those who graduated with a major

in English and those from other fields, teaching in small- and medium-sized schools. The sample was selected

through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire measuring teaching anxiety, with a

reliability coefficient of 0.94. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean, and

standard deviation. The research findings revealed that the overall level of teaching anxiety among the teachers

was moderate. The factor contributing most to the anxiety was personal factors in teaching (mean = 2.78,

standard deviation = 1.17), followed by social and environmental factors (mean = 2.59, standard deviation =

1.31), and learning factors (mean = 2.56, standard deviation = 1.10), respectively. The expected benefits of

this study include providing guidelines for enhancing the teaching capacity of primary school English teachers,

reducing teaching anxiety, and fostering greater confidence in conducting English instruction effectively.

The Rights of Exclusive Licensee to Sue the Copyright Infringement Case

2025-06-12T11:46:34+07:00

Copyright is a form of intellectual property, and copyright owners have the legal right to authorize others, as licensees, to reproduce, adapt, or publicly distribute their copyrighted works. However, in the event of licensing in Thailand, licensees, particularly exclusive licensees, often face copyright infringement and suffer damages, despite having invested substantial capital and paid significant consideration to obtain exclusive rights within a defined scope. Thai copyright law currently lacks explicit statutory protection for such exclusive licensees, and judicial precedents on the matter remain unclear. This problem serves as the basis for this article, which aims to examine foreign copyright laws in order to propose improvements to Thai copyright legislation.

The study found that the copyright laws of the United Kingdom and the United States provide clear legal standing and remedies for exclusive licensees to bring lawsuit against the infringement in their own name. Accordingly, the author proposes two approaches to address the issue of the rights of exclusive licensees to sue the copyright infringement case. The first approach is to apply the principles found in foreign jurisdictions into the revision of the Thai Copyright Act B.E. 2537 (1994). The other is to develop the templates of licensing agreement that explicitly sets forth the licensee’s rights to enforce the copyright and other related rights, thereby preventing future disputes or imbalances between the contracting parties.

The Study of Correlations of Clinical Services Process, Clinical Environment, and Clinical Services Satisfaction at Pediatric Clinics in Nan

2025-02-24T15:54:30+07:00

This research objective is to study satisfaction of patients’ parents on clinical services at the pediatric clinics in Nan province, Thailand. The researcher collected data from patients’ parents instead of the patients because patients in pediatric clinics are kids or children, and their parents are decision makers in selecting which Pediatric clinics are appropriate for their children. Random sampling was used in the data collection. Only 112 informants who experienced pediatric clinical services were willing to complete the survey questionnaires. The quantitative research methodology was conducted in this study. The set of questionnaires was distributed to collect data related to clinical services process, clinical environment, and clinical services satisfaction. The data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).

The research findings indicate that both factors-clinical services process and clinical environment significantly have positive relationships with clinical services satisfaction.

Adverse Possession in Thai Law: Principles, Interpretation, and Controversies

2025-06-12T12:16:05+07:00

This article aims to analyze the legal principles of adverse possession under the Thai legal system, focusing on the provisions of Sections 1382 and 1383 of the Civil and Commercial Code, along with interpretations by the Supreme Court on key elements. It also examines academic debates, particularly regarding the good faith of the possessor—a condition not explicitly required by law but one that significantly affects fairness in practice. The author proposes amending the law to include good faith as a requirement and reevaluating the appropriateness of the prescribed possession period. Additionally, the article suggests preventive measures for landowners, such as regular land inspection, clear demonstrations of ownership intention, and prompt legal action when encroachments are discovered. These measures aim to strike a balance between encouraging land utilization and protecting ownership rights, thereby reducing land-related disputes in Thai society.

Legal measures for certification of good agricultural practices : Coffee grown in forest areas

2025-04-11T12:24:14+07:00

The certification of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) is a critical mechanism for ensuring the quality, safety, and sustainability of agricultural products, including coffee cultivation in forested areas. This standard establishes best practices that promote consumer safety, environmental conservation, and improved market access for farmers. Despite its significance, the process of obtaining GAP certification presents several challenges, including land tenure restrictions, delays in farm inspections, financial burdens associated with compliance, and limited consumer awareness regarding the value of GAP certification. This study examines the legal framework governing GAP certification, analyzing its benefits alongside the obstacles faced by farmers. By identifying key challenges, this research seeks to propose policy recommendations and procedural improvements that can enhance the accessibility and efficiency of the certification process. The goal is to facilitate the sustainable production of forest-grown coffee while ensuring compliance with GAP standards in the long term.
