In the "more" category, I'm drifting towards a cashless world, which for me is cool, I noticed that Lotus had an online app, so I added it, setup was going well until it said "You need to verify your account by taking your passport to the local store". Which i did and to my surprise they knew what to do. Looks like trying to make sure scammers dont eat lol.

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:)

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.

Is it really still no coins deposit machines in Thailand !! not even at banks!

Dear foreigner friends...

Don't you think "QR Code payment" is giving more options to pay for foreigners?

Please help me fill out this form below to prove some assumptions in my study.
