Thailand Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go, which marries a classic 20-year-old franchise with augmented reality, has become an instant hit globally.

Thailand will make places such as the Royal Palace grounds, Buddhist temples and hospitals off limits to players of Nintendo Co Ltd's wildly popular augmented reality game Pokemon Go, the Thai telecoms regulator said on Tuesday.

Pokemon Go's debut in Thailand has alarmed the country's generals, prompting the kingdom's junta chief to warn youngsters against playing too much and the army to ban the game from barracks.

Thai authorities today warned Pokemon Go players against entering polling stations as they search for the cyber creatures when the nation votes on a controversial junta-crafted constitution.
