What apps can i use to pay QR in Thailand?

What apps are good to pay QR in Thailand!
Answer summary
In Thailand, several apps allow for QR code payments. Some popular options include: 1. **Kasikorn Bank** - Offers a temporary tourist account and an app for QR code payments, highly recommended for trust and functionality. 2. **True Money Wallet** - Widely used but primarily for non-personal QR codes; a secondary verification allows personal code scanning. 3. **Wise** - Recently enabled QR payments for residents on a long-term visa, but users must check specific eligibility. 4. **TAGTHAi** - Discussed for its usefulness, although some users have experienced limitations in top-up methods. 5. **Various Crypto Apps** - These can facilitate payments to both personal and business QR codes, though options may be limited depending on the vendor. Users should note that a Thai bank account may enhance their ability to use these apps effectively.

Kasikorn Bank (the green one) offers a temporary 'tourist account'.

You should check which branches allow for opening for such accounts- but in brief:

you deposit money to a new account you open with them (not an actualy thai bank account), and then given access to their app where you can user prompt pay and scan QR codes.

K-bank is one of the largest banks in thailand and you can trust it, i would check twice before trying 3rd pary applications.

Kasikorn Bank offers a ATM card for tourist and app for QR payment. Never tried it myself, because I have a bank account.

I had this, didn't rate it at all. You have to use a kiosk to top up. Bank cannot top the card up for you. I topped up at airport. After that there was no kiosk in my area to top up and bank said they cannot top it up
Klaus ********
Klaus ********
@Mark *******
aww... That doesn't seem very well thought out, then. I expected that you can top up on any Kasikorn bank... 😅

@Klaus *******
Tagthai is what I used. What I mean is the kiosk like at the airport
Klaus ********
Klaus ********
@Mark *******
sorry but what is meant by a kiosk? I mean you can transfer money through 7-11 for a fee, too. I'm a bit confused. Makes somehow no sense to me. Why make the effort to establish something for tourist if they can't top it up. But the ATM card you can get at any Kasikorn bank?
Mark ********
Mark ********
@Klaus *******
yes thats what I thought. But went in bank and they said no. There was not a kiosk to to up in my area only the bank. So a waste of time. Other than that it worked very well

not official apps only the one from True money that accepts only non personal codes.

Also other apps basically let you scan qr code and they make payment for you
