￼ hello. I have a very specific question. I am in Thailand half the year in Canada half the year. I have a year round condo rental.

With this visa, we can obviously not get a bank account.

I am wondering how people pay their bills during the time they are not in Thailand.

Specifically, I am looking to pay my true phone bill, my water bill, my electric bill and my cable bill

I really appreciate any information you can offer ￼

Answer summary

The post discusses a person seeking advice on how to pay their phone, water, electric, and cable bills in Thailand while living there part-time. Community members suggest using online payment solutions like Wise and TrueMoney, which allow payments without needing a local bank account. They also mention paying certain bills at convenience stores like 7-Eleven and using international credit cards for specific services.

Can use the True Money app to pay bills and also QR scan without a bank account. I would just load the money on before you leave the country, easy.

True bill can be paid in the app with international credit card.

Lazada for electricity

Water depends if you pay to a gov or to your condo if its gov you can pay by Lazada also,

If to the condo just give them 1,000 baht on your account in credit for when you are not there
