Is Apple Pay commonly used in Chiang Mai and Phuket?

Alain ***************

I used it inside the Apple Store. That’s the only place I’ve seen the logo. Use nfc card payment many times though. Unfortunately some payment options require a local bank account and isn’t available for most tourists. And even as a customer of true, they make it hard to sign up for TrueMoney app. I see this payment option a lot in stores

Go Friday one branch to the next. Tell them something like that your student visa is waiting for approval. It will take some time to visit many branches, but with some luck you’ll get it
