Main objective of this research is to scrutinize the biosafety status of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Thailand and examine biosafety laws in other countries in order to introduce the legal biosafety measures where could be applicable in Thailand. The documentary research approach and expert interview were employed. The major finding of this research shows that there is no specific law on biosafety applicable in Thailand. However, to some certain extent the existing laws and regulations can be applicable to control and manage the use of GMOs. They cannot regulate all activities dealing with GMOs. Moreover, the existing laws do not have the purpose directly to control the activities dealing with GMOs. As a result, the specific law on biosafety of GMOs should be addressed to better regulate the country's use and development of modern biotechnology and fill the gap of the existing laws.
