ICT policy in Thailand should also address the digital divide between rich and poor which is government should become a main sponsor and take action. For Thailand many challenges for government that need to be tackled in order to close digital divide1. Invest in the development of human capital to capable of absorbing and effectively using new technologies, invest in skills training2. Provide protection and security to safeguard users under cyber crime law3. Build up and upgrade ICT infrastructureGovernment policy is an instrument in the development of ICT sector particular the area of telecommunications infrastructure and services due government policy can contribute to creating a more competitive market in term of lowering prices and improving the quality services. Government can also strengthen technical educations and training in order to create a high skills workforce for the information technology industry also in the field of research and development. Government can use ICT to changed a development paradigm and drive innovation as long as ICT policy has been implementedTo be come and electronic government, the government for the people where people can easily access ICT even if in the rural and remote area to communicate to government and others and to develop digital skills transfer data information to extend the benefits of ICT to poorer to overcome the difficulty beyond the geography boundaries to support the livelihood, mean of living or people who living in poverty by providing an access channels to information, services and financial resources from government due internet is the great equalizer.Due to the era of information and communication technology those who can access information would have competitive advantages over others who can not this is the a crucial step that the government need to take action and play a major role even though the economic development during the past has a rapid change and a tremendous progress but the poverty target in Thailand is needed to be address.
