The bank of Thailand says that the use of electronic currency by the banking system will reduce the transaction processing time and the time of confirmation. As well as will reduce the cost of transaction.

I've never been in Thailand before, but I've always wanted to visit this wonderful country. Now a lot of countries are joining payments in cryptocurrencies - Switzerland, Australia, Thailand. And this list of countries is increasing every day. I have not been to any of these countries. But I would be delighted if I could pay for something using cryptocurrency.

That would be great. If other country will see that and the transaction is working smoothly, for sure they will adopt it also.  
There must be a country that will start using a digital currency so the others will follow and will not be afraid of using blockchain.

If they really take such measures, I will definitely buy the electronic money that they issued. I think this is a good opportunity to make money! I look forward to its arrival!

That's why the majority of countries are considered to use it soon. I remember that EU has already considered to use its own crypto in the future and the reliable news has told me about it will be save more than 75 billions through use the online payment system. And this is interesting to watch. I would like to see more and more countries are moving toward digital currency.

If this is true, it will be awesome news. The crypto industry needs more friendly countries and more adoption like this. And we will soon see crypto market skyrocket again

Their own local economy is not developed well but in built up areas there is a lot of tourists that would be willing to pay using electronic currency. Also, it would attract crypto investors to visit as they can convert their bitcoins to it and spend in their country

Its a great news indeed. Cryptocurreny is widely spreading around the world. It really feels great to see that everyone is accepting it without any doubt.

Recently, banks began to accept the cryptocurrency, including the JPMorgan bank, I very much hope that soon we will see a green color in the cryptocurrency market.

I think Thailand does not have this strength. I think Thailand's coin investment is of little value. Because Thailand's own economy is not ideal. It is not like Japan.

It's not that popular in Thailand? Dude you being serious? Indochinese people are by far the largest contenders of ICO bounties and airdrops. Don't take this personal but usually they are a bit short on intelligence. But half of them can't even understand what you wrote.

On the other hand, that is great news! They'll delve into the potential of blockchain, more research, more and more!

Honestly I'm Thai but I still don't understand what gonna happen in Thailand.
Cryptocurrency not that popular in Thailand.It's such a good news though.

Electronic money has been used extensively in a number of countries around the world. Thailand is considering and regulating the use of electronic money. The Bank of Thailand said the use of e-money by the bank would reduce transaction processing time and time to validate and reduce costs.

The firld of e currency is improving day by day. But, let's see how long it exists and get popularity to people.

This is another plus for cryptocurrencies lover and we need more of this good news than bad news because of the state of the market.  Thailand introducing they one cryptocurrencies or e-currency will create more adoptions by business and individuals around that region.

Its definitely good news. Cryptocurrency and blockchain distributed around the world, and we can soon see the dawn of these technologies. Sure, now we are on the verge of something great.

I wonder though how this will affect the paper Baht currency. I think mainly banks will use the blockchain to facilitate speed of transactions rather than stopping to print paper money. Although it will be good to see how Thailand emerges in this digital currency space and how it will progress. Any adoption of blockchain technology is a good thing in my books and as I want to visit Thailand one day with my Wife I will want to know by then at what level they implement it.

According to the Bank of Thailand, the use of e-currency by the banking system will reduce transaction processing time and time of confirmation, as well as reduce transaction costs.
