The United Kingdom’s and Federal Republic of Germany’s security user protection laws were used as a framework for analysis.


The results of the analysis revealed that the Security Business Act B.E. 2558 has a problem with the protection of security rights. The law requires the company to provide security guard personnel. But some security guards are not properly trained. This put consumers in disadvantageous situation and receiving improper care.
