It is good to hear that bitcoin will be piloted as crypto currency in the country of southeast asia in thailand, that will opem the doors also of its neighboring country in that region and good fir the bitvoin holders there in that region.
Thailand is a country with tourism destinations, so acceptance of bitcoin as a means of payment clearly supports the tourism industry players. When tourists ask, "Can I pay with bitcoin?" of course the tourism industry must be able to answer, yes or no. The Thai government wants to see opportunities, why should it be rejected when developed countries accept it? If banned, it can cause illegal transactions, because it is received secretly.
