This study analyses the issue of enforcement of the Freedom of Information (FoI) laws in Thailand and Indonesia and aims to identify the information policy in compliance to particularly FoI laws in Thailand and Indonesia regarding records and information management in public sectors. This study is limited to the context of the FoI, records and information services in Thailand and Indonesia. The findings indicate that FoI laws, designed to promote good governance, do not completely ensure transparency, accountability, or the realization of governance goals, primarily caused by to the inconsistent execution of information disclosure, deriving from the restricted capability of government entities to efficiently utilize, re-use, and disseminate information and public records. Secondly, the FoI laws do not sufficiently impact on effective records and information management systems, as government officials sometimes lack awareness, expertise and competencies in these domains leading to problems in providing information services and in fulfilling the FoI compliance requirements. Ultimately, the FoI laws, as an information policy, have not substantially improved understanding of the necessity for effective public records, archives, and information management systems in the public sector, due to the limited awareness among the public and government officials of the FoI laws and the associated human rights to access public documents and information maintained by public institutions. Moreover, both citizens and government officials demonstrate a constrained awareness of the relationship between the right to access information and effective records and information management, resulting in insufficient acknowledgement of the necessity for robust records and information systems in the public sector.
