I'll have to remember to only spend Litecoin on my next trip to Thailand.

Alt-coins were discussed at the meeting, same rules apply.

but as I understand, it's not a law, but just conclusion of bunch of idiots at the meeting.

When a senior official at a central bank tells you point-blank, "buying or selling bitcoins is illegal", unless you have a seriously large legal fund and willing to fight all the way to the constitutional courts if necessary, you take it seriously.

Is this for real? This is huge (in the negative sense) news if true.
Is the source credible?

And here guys and gals is the whole difference between the First World and Third World, between a free society and controlled society:

"At the conclusion of the meeting senior members of the Foreign Exchange Administration and Policy Department advised that due to lack of existing applicable laws, capital controls and the fact that Bitcoin straddles multiple financial facets the following Bitcoin activities are illegal in Thailand..."

In a free country you do what you like as long as it is not illegal. In a controlled un-free country you can only do what is legally allowed.

As a side note, too bad for Thailand, missing the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency train. They will regret it.
