Most probably haven't heard, but a new Personal Protection Data Privacy Act went into affect today. There's miminal information out there about it and the government has failed to clarify what is and isn't protected. Initially, it was stated that you could not take anyone's pictures in public without their permission, this includes police officers and public officials. From what I've read on Thai forums, the biggest complaint from people is that there is not an exemption for civil servants (you should be able to record a government officers in the mists of their duties).

Are there any Thai attorneys in the group, or people who have a better understanding that could clarify the law for us?
