Golden Finance reports that Thailand is considering a Bitcoin pilot project proposed by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra that would be tested in Phuket as a tourism-focused sandbox. The proposal has the support of Binance Thailand’s CEO, who sees it as a positive step for the country’s competitiveness and ability to attract tourists. However, despite efforts by industry advocates and some political backers to turn Thailand into a digital hub, the Bank of Thailand still bans crypto payments.
