          The findings indicated that the royal kingdom of Thailand tea production process does not meet international standards. Tea production in the royal kingdom of Thailand has no specific law. The royal kingdom of Thailand does not have a clearly defined tea production standard. The tea produced in the royal kingdom of Thailand has no indication of the quality of the tea. As a result, tea produced in the royal kingdom of Thailand is not up to international standards comparable to tea produced abroad. Therefore, it is suggested that a law on the regulation of tea production standards in the royal kingdom of Thailand should be enacted.
