Thailand is taking a bold step forward in promoting its tourism sector by integrating cryptocurrencies into daily transactions. The initiative, announced by Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Pichai Chunhavajira at an investment seminar in Bangkok, aims to revitalize the economy while providing tourists with more convenient spending options. Through partnerships with card providers, visitors can link their cryptocurrency balances to credit cards, facilitating seamless purchases in Thai Baht currency. This approach ensures a smooth transaction process for businesses and limits volatility risk while maintaining the stability of the local currency. The pilot program is expected to launch this summer, focusing on popular tourist destinations such as Bangkok’s shopping malls and Phuket resorts.
