No. Thailand’s Road Safety Act B.E. 2522 (1979) and Ministerial Regulation (No. 12) B.E. 2566 (2023) prohibit window tints below 30% VLT for front windshields and side windows, making 15% illegal. Police enforce this via roadside checks, with fines up to 5,000 THB and potential vehicle impoundment. Recent 2026 compliance directives prioritize road visibility for safety.
