🇹🇭 Thailand plans to trial KYC'ed bitcoin payments in Phuket for tourists

The country's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira announced a new initiative during a seminar organized by the Marketing Association of Thailand.

Foreign tourists in the pilot program may be able to register their coin through a Thai exchange and verify their identities before using the coins to purchase goods and services. A clearing house would subsequently convert the coins into Thai baht.
