Pokemon Go has become popular all over the world.

Thailand Telecom regulator said on Tuesday that it plans to restrict users from playing Pokemon Go games in some areas, such as the Royal Palace (Royal Palace) and Buddhist temples.

TakornTantasith, secretary-general of Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), said at a press conference that NBTC had consulted with five telecom operators to find ways to protect landmarks and enhance security measures. The five operators include Thailand's largest mobile operator Advanced Communications Services (AdvancedInfoServicePcl), full access Communications (TotalAccessCommunication) PCL, the third largest operator TrueCorp, as well as two state-owned operators TOTPcl and CAT Telecom.

True, the main content licensee for Pokemon Go in Thailand, requires game developer Niantic to delete certain locations in the game, such as government buildings and private venues. "We agree that certain locations, such as roads, sidewalks, riversides and other important locations, should be deleted, mainly for safety reasons," said Takorn Tantasith, secretary-general of the NBTC.

"Pokemon Go" combines the 20-year-old game with AR, which is instantly popular all over the world. With mobile devices, users can search for virtual Pokemon characters that appear in offices, restaurants, museums and other places. The game attracted a lot of criticism, and some players only played the game without paying attention, resulting in car accidents and other accidents.

Takorn Tantasith also said that Thai regulators are discussing whether to limit game time, and all operators must provide guidance on how to play games safely.

Thailand's mobile gaming market is growing rapidly, mainly due to increased sales of smartphones and the recent launch of 4G services.
