In Thailand, the courts decide on damages.

Before the Unsafe Products Act was passed, consumers hurt by unsafe products typically only had legal redress under the Civil and Commercial Code, which put the burden of proof on the consumer to show that the manufacturer, distributor, or another person in the supply chain was negligent. However, the Unsafe Products Act enables customers to bring strict responsibility lawsuits against supply chain defendants.
