Thailand is pioneering a new initiative to integrate digital currency usage into the tourism sector. On August 18, 2025, the country will launch the TouristDigiPay sandbox allowing tourists to convert their cryptocurrencies into Thai baht for use in electronic payments. This step aims to boost tourism by providing a smoother experience for travelers while adhering to financial regulations. 🇯🇵 The initiative is overseen by the Bank of Thailand and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with no direct on-chain spending allowed. The sandbox provides tourists with an alternative solution to traditional currency exchange, offering convenience and potentially increasing crypto conversion volumes.
