Maj Gen Sansern said the prime minister was concerned about people's safety after Pokemon Go, a location-based augmented reality game, was launched in Thailand to immediate popularity. "Gen Prayut wants parents to closely advise their children to be disciplined and wisely use their time and not to be addicted to anything in particular," Maj Gen Sansern added. Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said Pokemon Go players should avoid military areas and important government installations. Gen Prayut wanted the NBTC and ICT to come up with measures to keep people out of danger, he said. Gen Prayut did not want to ban the game.
