Consequently, government authorities especially the Office of the Civil Service Commission (OCSC) has worked coordinately with Thailand Professional Qualification Institute (Public Organization) under supervision of prime minister to develop Digital Literacy Project for Government personnel. The aims of the project were to provide knowledge for the Government personnel and to set up the Digital Literacy Standard. The researcher has synthesized, investigated and compared the standard that was set by the OCSC and Thailand Professional Qualification Institute (Public Organization) with the standard of other countries. The objective of this research was to investigate and compare the Digital Literacy Standard between Thailand and other countries. Literature review and other documents about the Digital Literacy Standard of Thailand and other countries were analyzed. The result suggested that the standard of Bass Modules of Thailand was in accordance with the standard of other countries. Nevertheless, Intermediate modules and Advances Modules of Thailand were differed from the standard of other countries. In addition, it was found that countries that have set Digital Literacy Standard on various areas were Arab States and Europe. Thailand has set the least Digital Literacy Standard when comparing to others. Digital Literacy Standard on Presentation, Using Databases, IT Security, Online Collaboration, and Project Planning were areas that have been mostly used to set the standard.
