Morning. Would be great some informations because I’m not really sure.

I’m currently in Thailand and I have the DTV. I read that it was possible, to open a Thai bank account with this visa type. So I went to Bangkok bank here in krabi and they said that is not longer possible with the DTV.

The only reason to have a Thai bank account for now is only because then I could pay with promptpay and don’t need so much cash. It’s only a comfortable thing.

My setup: I’m German. I have a German bank account and a Revolut account. With Revolut I can do transfers to Thailand using swift. Costs a little fee, but this is ok.

And now the question: Is there any way to use digital payment in Thailand without Thai bank account? Or is there a way to get one?

How do others do? Thanks for all answers:)

Hi all.

I was wondering how can I send money out of Thailand to example Singapore?

Does the banks do FAST?

TIA

I have heard of a new app called JamJang (or Jam Jang?) which allows tourists to use PromptPay QR codes without a Thai bank account. The app sounds perfect in theory but I am hesitant to download it because it's only 3 months old and there is close to zero information on it. It just seems a bit... dodgy. Has anyone here used JamJang?

Any one use promptpay. I got caught out at a restaurant yesterday with not the correct amount so they wanted me to use the scan qr code. Any one used this. I believe can use non Thai banks but expensive fees. I can register a BKK bank account but means visiting a branch.

Tax refund

Hi all, I have just filed my taxes and it looks like I'm getting a small amount back. They require promptpay for this, but I can't link that to my Thai ID because I'm not Thai. How does this work?

Hey! Anyone know how to either download English text prompt pay, or change the language in app?!! Or if that’s even possible?!

Just looking for a bit of information from anyone in Thailand who banks with Kasikorn Bank:

I would like to know if this Bank allows PayID?

Hi

With my wife, we are looking to open a joint bank account and be both able to use prompay on our phone. We already opened at Kasikorn, but they informed us, only one persone can be able to connect on K+. Do you have any suggestions of bank allowing both of us using them payment app?

Do any 7-11's accept payment via PromptPay/QR code? Every time I've asked, they've always said no.

Is it possible to live without using cash? Are there any finance apps to pay in shops? (Eg. Venmo, Gopay, Gcash in other countries). Where is mastercard accepted?
