A lit of Thai travel sites only accept payment via Thai issued cards. I know it’s crazy but TiT

Think it has to do with your card. If it requires verification by another security app it will fail

I had a problem when i chose the "saved card". I just had to re-enter the same card as a new payment method. That was my wise visa debit card. Which is officially a uk card as far as I know

I had the same issue with Air Asia. My Visa card didn't approve the transaction but then I tried my Master Card and it worked.
