In Thailand, the Copyright Law governs the legally enforceable rights of creative and artistic works under the Copyright Act since 1978, as amended. Copyright is automatically protected for 50 years and does not need registration, however it can be filed with the DIP. Disputes are first heard in the Intellectual Property and International Trade Court.
According to Thai copyright law, the copyright term is the life of author plus 50 years. When the author is a legal entity or an anonymous person, the copyright term is 50 years from the date of publication. Works of applied art (defined as a work which takes a composition of works such as drawings, paintings, sculpture, prints, architecture, photography, drafts, and models for utility or functional use) have a copyright term of 25 years from publication.
These are some sources that you can search for more information; e.g, COPYRIGHT ACT B.E. 2537 (1994) , Thai Public Law , Thai Laws , Thailand Intellectual Property Rights Toolkit, Intellectual Property Attorney , etc.
