Thai Prime Minister Anutin Chuan has criticized foreign lawbreakers in Thailand, stating that foreigners “should not come here and take advantage of us.” In response, Thai authorities are closing legal loopholes and cracking down on businesses using "nominee" arrangements, where foreign entities use Thai citizens as paper owners. The government also plans to tighten rules allowing foreign nationals to buy citizenship and thereby own land restricted only to Thais. These actions reflect a growing backlash against perceived abuses by foreigners in Thailand.
