Hi guys !

I’m really being curious how to live in Thailand with DTV without any local bank account. ….

I have my own property and I am a director of a Thai registered company .

Are there’s facts still not valid to open a personal bank account in Thailand ?

QR Payment without a bank account

I just came across an app called "Moreta". They claim you can pay using the Thai QR system by just linking a US bank account or a Wise account, they convert USD to THB and charge 3% per transaction with the free plan or 1.5% with the paid plan ($10/month).

Has anyone tried it? Seems useful for emergencies, the other day I couldn't get my scooter out of the parking lot because they only accepted QR payment 😅 Thankfully a delivery guy helped me

Hi, with regard to opening a Thai bank account with only a tourist visa, would it help if I had a lease agreement (with my girlfriend who owns her condo)? Thanks
