    Pokemon Go has been launched in Thailand

    With the launch of Pokemon Go in Thailand, expect to see these spontaneous get together events throughout Bangkok and beyond. The launch was sooner than expected. True CEO Suphachai Chearavanont said on July 21 the game would be launched in September.

    This would actually be quite fun to do with Leo. He's constantly bitching at me to get outside and walk with him any way.

    Too bad it's only available to "trainers" right now (whatever that is), and doesn't mention when it'll be available to average end users. Just checked the Google Play Store, and only a bunch of guide books available from the looks of things.

    And doesn't say where in Thailand it'll be available. Only Bangkok, or do us folks up here get it too?

    I guess some people are just not the tech expert/nerd they think they are

    the final counts are still being done to determine which upcountry areas have earned the right to get it

    What??? It's a cartoon designed to entertain 6 year olds. My apologies for not knowing everything there is to know about it.

    Well, Good News for you and Leo. Apparently, from the Twitter posts I've seen....Pokemon Go is indeed alive and well in Khon Kaen.
    From the gatherings I've seen "pop-up" in Vancouver, the groups are mainly young adults and older and these are social meet up's so.....

    Yeah, I figured it out. "Your device is not compatible with this version". That's why I couldn't see it in the Play Store.

    And I'm not buying a new tablet just to wander around after Pokemon, so that idea is in the garbage. We can stick to badminton.

    It's a phone game, you load it into your phone and then head out to bump heads with other, like minded hotties.

    Well, phone or tablet, same thing. Android based device, and both can run the same apps. My tablet is just too old.

    Works on Leo's phone though, so maybe give it a try tomorrow.

    Tonight spoke with a bar boy in Pattaya who made mention of Pokemon in Pattaya. For me I have no idea what it is all about and couldn't care less.

    I'm thinking, one day if you should stumble upon a delicious collection of young men all gathered together in one spot and wonder what they are doing all simultaneously with their phones. If one knew the location of the Pokemon Stop before the gang arrived, that might allow enough time to get naked and smothered in peanut butter beforehand...or something along those lines. LOL
