Today, 10 May 2026, Ms. Patcharin Samsiriphong, Secretary to the Minister Attached to the Prime Minister’s Office, disclosed after joining Ms. Supamas Isarapakdi, Minister Attached to the Prime Minister’s Office, that she had monitored the sale of school uniforms and school supplies before the new term at shops in Bang Lamphu and found that overall, traders responded positively and were willing to strictly comply with consumer protection laws.
Ms. Patcharin stated that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is concerned about citizens’ livelihoods, especially with the upcoming school term when parents must purchase uniforms and school supplies for their children. To prevent issues affecting consumers—such as excessive pricing, unclear price tags, forced bundled purchases, unfair promotions, and quality that does not match the price—yesterday, Ms. Supamas Isarapakdi urged cooperation from shops and emphasized that school uniforms are label-controlled products, with legal penalties for violations.
When selling school uniforms, the labels must fully display seven key pieces of information: product type, brand/producer/importer name, producer’s address, size, usage instructions/warnings, production date, and price clearly stated in baht. Additionally, products must meet Thai Industrial Standards (TIS) 2137-2559 and 2138-2559 to ensure fabric quality, giving consumers confidence in their purchases.
Penalties for violating label laws include imprisonment of up to one year or fines up to 200,000 baht for producers or importers who produce incorrect labels. Sellers who sell products without labels or with incomplete labels face imprisonment up to six months or fines up to 100,000 baht.
“I urge all parents that if you notice unfair practices such as missing labels, no price tags, or inflated prices, you can report via the OCPB hotline 1166, the OCPB Connect app, or the website www.ocpb.go.th at any time. In provinces, reports can be made at Damrongtham Centers in every provincial hall. This allows the government to promptly inspect and protect citizens' rights during the school term,” she said. Ms. Patcharin concluded.
