Thailand to Let Tourists Use Digital Assets for Baht Payments
Israa Farhan Thailand is set to introduce a new system enabling foreign tourists to convert digital assets into Thai baht for everyday payments in shops and services, in a move designed to boost the nation's tourism industry. According to the Vietnam News Agency, the scheme will operate within a regulatory sandbox overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Bank of Thailand (BOT) to ensure financial stability and compliance. To participate, short-term visitors must open accounts with licensed digital asset providers and e-money operators, undergo strict identity verification, and use electronic payment methods such as QR codes. Any remaining funds can only be withdrawn upon account closure. This initiative positions Thailand as one of the first countries in Southeast Asia to integrate digital assets into mainstream tourism payments, reflecting its strategy to attract high-spending visitors and adapt to evolving global financial trends. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
