TLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus among commenters is that the EU GDPR does not apply to European citizens in Thailand. While European law is primarily applicable within Europe, Thai companies that target EU citizens may need to adhere to these regulations. Overall, the conversation highlights the jurisdictional differences between European and Thai laws.

European law is for Europe. Not for European citizens in Thailand. Thai companies targeting citizens in Europe should also follow the European laws. Same as US companies targeting citizens in Europe also have to follow the European laws.
