Thailand's TH-AI Passport Offers Free Access to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Thailand has launched the TH-AI Passport, a government-backed initiative designed to give eligible citizens free access to a range of artificial intelligence tools through a single platform. The programme, operated through the AiPASS platform, aims to make advanced AI more accessible while encouraging wider use of the technology in education, employment and business.

The AiPASS platform brings together 33 AI models from 15 providers, offering tools for tasks including chatting, coding, image and video generation, music creation and deep research. The services available through the platform include well-known AI models from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Meta AI, Mistral AI and Grok, along with Thailand's own Pathumma ThaiLLM.

The initiative is aimed at reducing the need for users to maintain multiple paid subscriptions or separate accounts for different AI services. By bringing several models together in one platform, the government hopes to make AI tools easier to access and encourage more people to experiment with different technologies for learning, professional work and other activities.

The programme is available to Thai citizens aged 15 and above. Users are required to register through the AiPASS platform and verify their identity using Thailand's Digital ID system or ThaID. The initiative is scheduled to operate for one year, while the government has set an ambition of reaching up to five million users.

AiPASS also includes a points and credit system intended to encourage users to improve their AI skills. Participants can earn points and credits by completing courses, lessons and missions, which can subsequently help them access different AI features. The broader objective is to improve AI literacy alongside providing access to the technology.

The platform has several restrictions aimed at preventing misuse. Users are prohibited from using the service for illegal activities, fraud, gambling, harassment, hate speech, obscene material or violations of privacy and intellectual property rights. Account sharing, bots, unauthorised software and attempts to interfere with or reverse-engineer the platform are also prohibited. Thailand's initiative comes as other countries, including South Korea, explore government-backed programmes to expand public access to AI.
