I heard Thailands economy is really struggling at the moment. They should put some of their money in coins.

I don't know how this is possible. Thailand was the first nation in Asia to explicitly ban Bitcoin altogether. That ban still stands as of now. Something smells fishy about this exchange.

Your information is about 5 months out of date.

The latest policy is a boilerplate warning; inline with what other countries have issues; basically saying consumers use bitcoin at their own risk and warning that the value could drop at any time:

The coindesk article is slightly inaccurate because we have already been operating OTC trading since Feburary.  But we have now launched a new full exchange website also.

I agree! I think Thailand should consider the experience of Cyprus on the use of crypto currency

OK... so they removed the blanket ban on Bitcoins in Thailand. Good for them. Best wishes for the new local exchange. Hope that Thailand will emerge as one of the prime Bitcoin destinations in Asia, even overtaking Singapore.  Grin
