Pokemon Go fans will have to wait until September before the game is officially released in Thailand.

According to Reuters, Thai telecoms giant True Corp will launch the record breaking game in September.

Suphachai Chearavanont, True Corp Chief Executive told reporters late on Thursday that True Corp hold the only master license to Pokemon content in Thailand.

The exact launch date is yet to be confirmed but will ultimately be decided by Nintendo, Suphachai said, adding that the game will be available to download free of charge to anyone who wants to play it – regardless of their mobile operator.

Based on what I've seen in the US for the last two weeks, you'd better prepare yourselves for some unbelievable craziness come September.

I think Thais will take to it with gusto. Millions will enjoy it without doubt but motorcyclists, white Honda Jazz drivers etc will be playing whilst they drive, kids walking out into traffic, people wandering down elevated expressways. Think of the most bizarre scenario and it's possible here.

Has anyone got the game to work yet in Thailand? (Anyone with an App Store account in USA, U.K. NZ etc can download it)

Great, let's import all of Japan and USA's trash and dump it on Thailand, so we can get the whole world addicted and milk them for profits.

This has got to be the stupidest game ever conceived….not surprised it has so much traction from stupid millennials.

[Tai777]

Agreed, but it has made Nintendo millions already, so why would they stop? Millenials are liberal idiots who follow any trend that comes their way. They might as well milk the world for all its money. They don't care about Thailand or its culture all they see are dollars to be made.
