泰国正在探索由前总理他信·西那瓦提出的比特币试点项目的想法。普吉岛将作为一个旅游沙箱来测试该项目。

Thailand is considering a Bitcoin pilot project in Phuket, with support from Binance Thailand CEO Nirun Fuwattananukul. However, the initiative faces regulatory challenges from the Bank of Thailand, which currently prohibits Bitcoin payments.

在币安泰国首席执行官 Nirun Fuwattananukul 的支持下，泰国正在考虑在普吉岛开展比特币试点项目。然而，该举措面临泰国银行的监管挑战，该银行目前禁止比特币支付。

Thailand is exploring the possibility of launching a Bitcoin pilot project in Phuket, as suggested by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The initiative aims to test the integration of Bitcoin into the economy, particularly within the tourism sector, to attract tech-savvy visitors.

根据前总理他信·西那瓦的建议，泰国正在探索在普吉岛启动比特币试点项目的可能性。该计划旨在测试比特币与经济的融合，特别是在旅游业中，以吸引精通技术的游客。

Binance Thailand CEO Expresses Support for Bitcoin Pilot in Phuket

币安泰国首席执行官表示支持普吉岛比特币试点

The proposal has garnered support from Binance Thailand CEO Nirun Fuwattananukul, who believes it could enhance the country's competitiveness and tourism appeal. Nirun views the project as beneficial for Thailand's digital asset industry.

该提案得到了币安泰国首席执行官 Nirun Fuwattananukul 的支持，他认为这可以增强该国的竞争力和旅游吸引力。 Nirun 认为该项目对泰国的数字资产行业有利。

"I think it also reflects global crypto adoption and shows what leadership has embraced new technologies," Fuwattananukul stated.

Fuwattananukul 表示：“我认为这也反映了全球加密货币的采用，并显示了领导层已经接受了新技术。”

Fuwattananukul also highlighted the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies by nations around the world. Given Thailand's heavy reliance on tourism, he suggests that integrating crypto into the Phuket economy could attract more tech-savvy visitors and investors, boosting Thailand's global presence.

Fuwattananukul 还强调了世界各国越来越多地采用加密货币。鉴于泰国严重依赖旅游业，他建议将加密货币融入普吉岛经济可以吸引更多精通技术的游客和投资者，从而提升泰国的全球影响力。

However, Fuwattananukul also acknowledges the risks associated with cryptocurrencies, including price volatility, security vulnerabilities, and substantial regulatory burdens. He notes that some of these risks are still not fully understood.

然而，Fuwattananukul 也承认与加密货币相关的风险，包括价格波动、安全漏洞和巨大的监管负担。他指出，其中一些风险尚未得到充分了解。

In light of these concerns, Fuwattananukul expresses support for a controlled "sandbox" approach to the pilot project. Such systems, he says, would allow regulators to monitor and assess the risks firsthand, while businesses and consumers can engage in the operations.

鉴于这些担忧，Fuwattananukul 表示支持对试点项目采用受控“沙盒”方法。他说，这样的系统将允许监管机构直接监控和评估风险，而企业和消费者可以参与运营。

"If successful, I think Phuket can help lead Thailand to be the leader in digital innovation, which will make the country stand out on the world map as a forward-looking nation," Fuwattananukul added. "But we also need caution and regulation to get the balance right between innovation and risk management."

Fuwattananukul 补充道：“如果成功，我认为普吉岛可以帮助泰国成为数字创新的领导者，这将使该国作为一个具有前瞻性的国家在世界地图上脱颖而出。” “但我们也需要谨慎和监管，以在创新和风险管理之间取得正确的平衡。”

Bank of Thailand Grapples with Bitcoin Payments Issue

泰国银行努力解决比特币支付问题

Bitcoin is already used for payments in some countries, such as the United States and Japan. Thailand could learn from their experiences and adopt solutions that best suit its unique context.

比特币已经在美国和日本等一些国家用于支付。泰国可以学习他们的经验并采取最适合其独特情况的解决方案。

However, Thailand operates a closed currency system, which influences how the central bank manages the economy. This is why the Bank of Thailand must consider the implications of using Bitcoin for anything as basic as payments, since any form of currency flow can potentially impact the economy.

然而，泰国实行封闭的货币体系，这影响了央行管理经济的方式。这就是为什么泰国央行必须考虑使用比特币进行支付等基本业务的影响，因为任何形式的货币流动都可能对经济产生影响。

If Bitcoin were to be adopted on a large scale, the central bank would face difficulties in regulating economic activities. As a result, collaboration among regulators is crucial.

如果比特币大规模采用，央行在监管经济活动时将面临困难。因此，监管机构之间的合作至关重要。

At present, the central bank does not allow Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to be used as a form of payment in Thailand. Therefore, any Bitcoin pilot project would require agreement from the Bank of Thailand, as well as other relevant bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to ensure consumer protection and anti-money laundering measures are in place.

目前，泰国央行不允许使用比特币或其他加密货币作为支付方式。因此，任何比特币试点项目都需要获得泰国银行以及证券交易委员会（SEC）等其他相关机构的同意，以确保消费者保护和反洗钱措施到位。

On December 18, Thaksin also touched upon the need for Thailand to adapt to trends like Bitcoin and stablecoins. He urged the country to start preparing for challenges that may arise if Donald Trump returns to power, suggesting that Trump could retaliate against Thailand over trade imbalances.

12 月 18 日，他信还谈到泰国需要适应比特币和稳定币等趋势。他敦促该国开始为唐纳德·特朗普重新掌权后可能出现的挑战做好准备，并暗示特朗普可能因贸易失衡问题对泰国进行报复。

"Thaksin said he believed Donald Trump may retaliate against Thailand because of trade imbalances," the report noted.

报告指出：“他信表示，他相信唐纳德·特朗普可能会因贸易失衡而对泰国进行报复。”
