Should Digital Nomads (DTVs) Get a Thai Bank Account?

Here we go again 😂

Digital Creator = Someone who takes holiday snaps 😆

Are you applying for a bank account in every country you visit for 3-6 months? Cause that’s what a DTV is for. For multiple visits lasting a few months.

I pay my rent through Wise, electric bills via Lazada (accepts all cards incl Revolut and Wise), and True/dtac simply accepts foreign cards. The only thing that’s unavailable to me is the QR code payment… or practically unavailable cause TrueMoney doesn’t let let you do much without submitting additional documents like a visa with a work permit (so not DTV), but somehow I don’t miss it at all.

I use it like 5 times a day so i would say yes

Nice to have, not necessary.

You're asking in the wrong group!

It would be nice, but it isn’t completely necessary. Take out 20k 2 times per month cash, you’ll pay around £12 for that, the rest you can do on card or wire transfer. I haven’t tried it yet, but the qr code thing from true money sounds decent. At the end of the day it’s cheaper here compared to where I’m from, so I don’t really fuss to much on a little atm tax, whatever.

Lazada is a must for every woman 🤣 thats why

I am lucky enough to have a Thai bank account but I only use it for paying rent, phone, internet and electric bills. Those who have lived here long term without a bank account, what do you do to pay such bills?

Thai government says NO😄

Why do you need a thai bank account? I'm just curious

Good luck! 😂

Great satire!
