Thai Authorities Seize 100,000 Fake Goods in Bangkok Mall Raid

Thai authorities seized more than 100,000 counterfeit items valued at nearly $1 million in a raid at a famous Bangkok shopping mall, as part of steps to tackle intellectual property violations after US trade officials had flagged it as a notorious market.

The Friday operation at MBK Center followed the mall’s inclusion in the Office of the US Trade Representative’s 2025 Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy published earlier this month, which cites the shopping complex as a location where counterfeit goods are sold.
