How can I pay my water and electricity bills online in Thailand without a Thai bank account?

@Carlos ********

i just did that last week. so you maybe made a mistake. try again? i even unlocked more functionality by uploading some document. can’t remember.

@Carlos ********

get an agent to

Open a bank account - QR system is amazing!

@Carlos ********

you can.

@Carlos ********

its being blocked by visa or Mastercard. Call your overseas bank to take the block off.

"There are a number of reasons why a Visa card might be blocked for overseas purchases, including:

International payments turned off: Card controls may have been used to turn off international payments

Fraud: The card issuer may suspect fraud if there is unusual activity or spending outside of habits

Visa Secure: Some online payments may require extra information to confirm identity

Card expired: The card may have expired

Credit limit reached: The cardholder may have reached their credit limit

Incorrect card information: The cardholder may have entered their card information incorrectly

Old address or phone number: The cardholder may have an old address or phone number on file

To avoid issues, cardholders can:

Inform their card issuer that they are traveling overseas and using their Visa card

Provide their current contact details, including a number to reach them while overseas

Check the expiration date on their card

Visa travel support is available to help with any issues. "

@Tim ********

This would be a very expensive option when you considered all charges and with a foreign card , 7/ 11 - 15 baht ( I know this is not what the OP wants ) .

@Tim ********

my response was to OP not YOU. He asks where to pay utilities bills ONLINE, NOT BY ATTENDING AN OFFICE.

@Carlos ********

go to the 711, problem solved. Why are you so hung up with paying your utility bills online?

@Carlos ********

paid with what? Qr scan requires a Thai bank account. I pay pea electricity bill with lazada now - previously with ibanking BKK but this is easier

@Marc *******

you pay over the counter at 7/!1, no need to go online

@Carlos ********

only Thai issued debit or credit cards.

@Carlos ********

then bring cash

@Carlos ********

can you not pay cash. Much easier ?
