How can expats in Thailand use QR code payments without a Thai bank account?

Ben ********

Perhaps people want the convenience of QR code payments so much that they are willing to do that. I wouldn't mind doing that, put say 100,000 baht in at a time and that should last a while

Do you have to show proof of funds when re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa?

Ben ********

I've heard that the only time you might get asked for proof of funds again is if you extend the visa whilst in Thailand. But other than that you are free to go in and out for 5 years without having to show proof of funds again

Has anyone successfully opened a bank account in Thailand under the DTV visa?

Ben ********

@Expat *********
