How do you pay electricity and water bills without a bank account?
Answer summary
You can pay your electricity and water bills in Thailand without a bank account by using cash at convenience stores like 7/11 or at your condo's office. The TrueMoney app allows you to top up with cash and pay bills through your phone. Additionally, some users mentioned that payments can be made via Lazada for a small fee. If you have a foreign credit card, you might also use apps like MEA for electricity payments. In some cases, you can have your landlord pay the bills in exchange for cash.

Go to kasikorn bank. I just saw a clip about a prepaid debit card. There you can top up money and connect with an app. Then you can use the card for withdrawal, payment and the app for pay with QR code.

Pay your bill at every 7Eleven or at Big C, or pay it at the next PEA office.

Can at 7-11, tops, etc I pay in cash to my condo agent. She shares the bills with me to show me she’s not ripping me off. So I pay maid, internet, electricity, and water. Waiting on her right now.
One of the owners (husband/wife) is a celebrity here in Thailand and are very fair to me. I also pay my rent far in advance 😂 no I won’t say who she is but will say she is very nice & I had no idea months later & asked my condo agent to confirm.
I use Wise to pay my rent.

I think for electricity you can go to the bank or 7-11 and pay cash. I know it was possible couple years ago

Cash at 711 for electricity. Most condos you can pay cash for water at the office.

Mea can be paid at any 711. Water is through your juristic office

Easiest is to have someone with local bank account pay for you and give them cash. Be sure and get a screenshot of the paid screen.

But then you may as well go to 711 or Tesco to pay at the counter. But both are pretty easy ways :-)

True Money. Just register on the app. 1st they will ask for your passport, then you will need to apply for the advanced features by uploading a picture of your DTV visa and photo of your DTV stamp. Make sure you send a picture of both pages in your passport, not just the stamp, because they will kick it back. Once you do that, you should be able to scan like a local. Unless something has changed since September, you should be approved in 1-3 days.
