In response to this issue, the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth), the Internet Foundation for the Development of Thailand, and the Thai Web Accessibility Standards Working Group are advancing the implementation of WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) so that websites are accessible to all.
