Payment Options (w/o Thai Bank account)

This comes up a lot in the comments. Please do add or correct, but this info is correct based upon my own personal experience:

TagThai Pay&Tour

- Prepaid credit card

- Can only be loaded at (I think any) Kasikorn Exchange kiosk. (I did in Samui.) Contrary to some comments I've seen, I was able to do with THB, did not have to actually exchange currency.

- Cannot pay Personal accounts with QR code, so that's most small restaurants and shops out.

TrueMoney

- Top up by cash at any 7-11, Lotus, and various pay points.

- Some people have completed the additional verification by uploading a copy of DTV visa and entry stamp under the work permit section of documents. That then allows payment to personal QR codes.

- It's also handy for paying Electricity and Water. (Keeps the history.)

- I have not been able to top-up by credit card since additional verification, but others claim this is possible.

DeepPocket

- CAN pay personal QR code

Load by credit/debit card, cash at BigC or Lotus.

- Pricier fees than the other two.

- (Was recommended to me by a friend who's an expert in payments, so seems to have solid backers, but I'm not personally endorsing this or anything else.)

* Moreta Pay

- Can connect to US bank, do SEPA transfer, or UK Faster Payments, or credit/debit

- No personal QR codes

- Works in other Asian countries

Edit Question answered and reassurances received, Thank You

Hello all

We are less than a week away from arriving, we have just taken delivery of some baht to see us through the first week or so and we have received 2 different design of notes for the 500 baht and 1000 baht

Is this all correct and current?

Thank you for your reassurance

Hi all wondered if you could help with a cash question. I still have some notes left from my last trip to Thailand in 2020. Some still have the previous king on. Does any one know if they are still in date. I won’t be back until late 2024?

Thanks in advance.

Does the 20,000 baht requirement have to be in thai money? Are $ or € acceptable? Is a married couple required to have 40,000?

I went to collect Re entry inside Suvarnabhumi Aiport but they wanted Thai cash, I kept running Inside looking for ATM to withdraw cash but they had foreign currency ATM only. The officer did not allow me to go out and withdraw Thai bhat. I had to choose my flight to Australia or Re entry. I am on a ED visa Expiring on Nov 2018. I could not collect Re entry. Can I collect Re entry after I land in airport again? I am very worried as it's ED visa.
