The research results were the internet policy for child online protection in Thailand is necessary and must be implemented to solve the problem, prevent the threats to children from using the internet for the three main reasons. Firstly, the situation and severity of the problem that has occurred continuously since 2002 have intensified to a greater extent. And it was found that there were four main types of internet threats to Thai children; Child Predation & Exploitation and Child Pornography, Cyberbullying, Internet Gambling, and Online games. Secondly, the government became aware of problem significance. And thirdly, Drive from the international organizations and NGOs. Results of Internet Policy Implementation were found to lack clear and specific policy and law.

Thus, the policy objectives to solve problems and protect children online were not fulfilled, according to the consideration of two criteria of outputs and adequacy criteria. It was found that the factors affecting the unsuccessful implementation of the policy consistent with the literature review and related studies. Total six factors are 1) Policy’ clarity and coverage, 2) Capabilities of Implementing Agency, 3) Front-line implementers 4) Supports from the locality, the private sector, NGOs and the stakeholders, 5) Policy Resources, and 6) Political Support. Two additional factors discovered were 1) Complexity of Implementation and 2) Communication and coordination. Suggestions from studies ,the government should urgently legislate the necessary and international-standard enforcement of laws to protect children from all types of internet risks and harms also appoint the agency who responsible directly in the implementation of Child Online Protection approaches (or COP), as well as providing the “National Focus” for the coordination of implementation. | th |
