It's great to know that another Asian country besides Jaoan is looking to regulate cryptos instead of planning for a blanket ban. Where major economies of Asia like India and China still maintaining a negative outlook towards cryptocurrencies. Regularization will definitely boost confidence in the local crypto market as a framework will be available to the mass. Also it will attract international tourists to use their bitcoins and travel in Thailand. Overall it's a win-win situation for common mass and administration.

I admire the government of Thailand for catching the great vision with cryptocurrency which they are sure can be of big help to their growing economy. Soon the country can be attracting many good fintech companies to locate in the country due to favorable business environment. I hope that this can be a warning sign for other neighboring countries to also open up their economies for the coming of cryptocurrency and the blockchain since this is now unstoppable...otherwise these countries can find later that they are already so late.

Thailand sure want to progress using the technology of blockchain that is why I guess this kind of stuff is pretty positive for the community, I guess after what Japan had done to the technology of Bitcoin Thailand is sure to come next in regulating it, I think after accepting 4 new cryptocurrency service providers in their country this turn out to be very positive for them so they are thinking of ways to sure secure transaction more properly. Here is the link on the article about it for others to see. https://cointelegraph.com/news/thailand-govt-will-amend-aml-laws-to-regulate-cryptocurrency

LOL you must be kidding. These laws are likely to make Thai move to another country so they can move their funds without anyone looking into it. Remember that Bitcoin was originally supposed to be anonymous and impossible to trace. If it becomes like a fiat currency then it's useless.

I have no love for Thailand after what they attempted to do to our fellow user Elwar, remember Thailand still isn't a just fair country, if they decide they want your coins, then they'll say you've done something illegal and take them.
Yep, a thug country. Once I was at Bangkok airport, I asked if it possible to take a shower and a guy sent me to a massage place where I could sleep with whores in exchange of money, obviously not what I was asking for.

Thailand is one among the country that has got cryptocurrency being used by all levels of people. From the positive view over the regulation it could get more common people into cryptocurrency usage. On the other side, it might also restrict with limitations which will the long term users of cryptocurrency. Anyhow there is no ban as India or China which shows the futuristic view on cryptocurrency by the Thailand government.

LOL you must be kidding. These laws are likely to make Thai move to another country so they can move their funds without anyone looking into it. The thing is merchants that accept Bitcoin is limited. We cannot use Bitcoin anywhere we wanted. Sad, but it is the fact. We have to accept the government regulations and it won't push thru to mass adoption if the government will not regulate it. This regulation resolve an issue about public confidence. Remember that Bitcoin was originally supposed to be anonymous and impossible to trace. If it becomes like a fiat currency then it's useless.
Bitcoin were never been fully anonymous and it is very transparent that your idea of impossible to trace is somehow off. And bitcoin is supposedly to function as currency just like fiat (mode of payment). It seems you are confused. And we have to accept the fact that without government approval/regulation, Bitcoin won't move forward because majority of the people always look for the authorities approval.

Fair enough, I guess I need to read the white paper again. I am here to learn after all.

Well it is a huge place for sex tourism, he may have been confused but I'm sure he was more likely making some commission off of the hookers. I know Elwar liked that country a lot but it became pretty obvious that they are an oligarchy and only those with power are somewhat safe. Yep. Disgusting place!

AML laws are for scared and paranoid government officials. Why in the hell would we pay taxes? I can't think of one good reason. Crypto is not even currency or backed by the government so it is not theirs they can't tax it. They just scared people will be able to take their own power back and be self-sustainable without the "help" of the government.
In a true crypto run world, there would be no taxes since everyone would own coins in different things so you would instead of having tax money wasted you would actually own a part of the road if your coins help in a company that makes roads. This spreads the wealth and doesn't concentrate it in one place like the "goverment"
Honestly, ALM KYC and all this other bs can fuck and kiss my arse. The government and officials can kiss my ass too. I won't pat those thugs another cent of my hard-earned money. I never will pay tax again since I do not use fiat much. Only use fiat for some bills. My fiat withdraws as so low way below the tax line so I have nothing to worry about.

Thailand is also gearing up for the inevitable changes in the economic landscape. That seems nice and all since it's progression in some form but I do hope that their regulations won't suck and be that strict like what other countries have. I know there are a lot of things to dislike in Thailand due to recent events involving one user in here but then again, if it's a move to at least put them in the map of countries officially doing something for crypto then so be it. Good luck to the Thai people and I hope they don't end up like India banning things they don't fully understand.

I hope more Asian countries look to implementing proper technology to help with AML like those provided by ciphertrace. Might be more respected and received better than governments' direct involvement.

Its better crypto being regulated than being outlawed. Its no different than alcohol or smoking. The government would rather regulate it and tax it and get some benefit out of it rather than outlawing it and people would have to get it illegally somehow like Bootlegging.
Crypto is no different. Most people don't have an issue with it being regulated since there are so many people who signup with Gemini or Coinbase and they don't have issues KYC their info.
For the future of crypto, I think regulation is a must.

It is better if you indicate some source or links for us to further follow and read all the contents or news. Anyhow, i have searched it and found an interesting article. Thailand's just planning to create AML law. Here's what they said, “We may not find any clue, but that doesn’t mean the wrongdoing does not occur.” He also added that it may be used as a crime tool that is why he wanted to regulate law such as AML. In line with this, this may lessen the crimes in the country. Hope this AML about cryptocurrency may be implemented soon. Here's the link for you to read.

Regulations can be a 2 edged sword, because you can have a country having very Bitcoin friendly regulations and then Bitcoin will flourish or you can have something like the BitLicense that they formulated in NY, where it was so complex and expensive that it actually caused a barrier to entry for Bitcoin use. So, I hope the regulations are just enough to protect their citizens, but still open for creativity and innovation to flourish. Some of these countries use regulation for their own hidden agendas and then it becomes a minefield.

Thailand is a tourist country so I think adding crypto to the tourism industry is the first thing they will do

This is the best compromise. Thailand looks more mature than other countries in this matter. There is no need to completely ban the use of cryptocurrency as other countries are doing. Thailand must have studied the vast benefits their citizens as well as visitors could take out of it. I know Thailand is one of the economic tigers in Southeast Asia. This will certainly benefit the country's business environment. You cannot be too unfriendly to rising fintech revolutions if you want to promote your country as a financial hub.
