Summary
For most readers of The Thaiger, this will not directly apply to you, as the AI Passport is open to Thai nationals only, aged 15 and over. But if you live here, work alongside Thai colleagues, or have a Thai partner or family member, it is worth knowing this exists.
AiPASS is a single platform that aggregates AI tools from more than 14 providers, covering more than 30 models. Think of it as a government-funded access pass to a range of AI services that would otherwise require separate subscriptions.
