Is it common for landlords in Thailand to request payment slips for rent transfers?

Your duty is to pay the bill; the custom is to show the slip. They don’t have the ‘right’ to demand the slip as such but it makes things a lot easier for them. Because apparently in the banking system here the receiver has to jump through all kinds of hoops to distinguish payments. Then they can’t find it perhaps, ask you for evidence that you paid, and then.. you show the slip! So it’s just easier to show when they request it in the first place.

You're not showing intelligence there.

It's a different country, so they have different customs, and you're supposed to show your intelligence by understanding that right away, without insisting on doing it like back home in a country that is not, especially when it doesn't cost you a pain.

It's called being an expat, adapting and integrating to your new country.

the banking system in Thailand is not like the west. Very few banks actually show you a name and reference of a transfer, just the transfer code. Every place I've rented asks for either an upload to an app of the slip or it to be sent via line. Many places if paying through scan will also take a picture of that slip too.

@Marvin ********

if you're sending your payments via wise then there won't be a slip. It'll be a confirmation. But your landlord may not understand that since it's not a bank slip like they are expecting. It looks like this with a QR code that can be scanned to confirm it's legit.

. Kasikorn banks phone banking app can automatically generate a slip with the option at same time to forward it via chat apps such as Line or Messenger.
