Thailand bans online gaming after 10 p.m. -- unless you register as an adult
Topic: Multiplayer Online Games 5:36 pm EST, Feb  3, 2004

Last summer (2003), Thailand passed legislation which banned all online gaming from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m.

Starting in September, they amended the ban so that adults could still play, *if* they registered and paid a fee to the government:

] gamers aged 18 and above will have to
] register with a mandatory age-check system to be excluded
] from the gaming ban. Registration can be done at post
] offices for less than Bt30 (US$ 0.74), information and
] communication technology minister Surapong Suebwonglee
] said in the report.

The ban is issued against servers. Both local and overseas servers are blocked (or were as of November 2003). I'm trying now to find out the latest on this, so if anyone has any more recent information, please let me know?
