tldr; Thailand is launching the ‚TouristDigiPay‘ program on August 18, 2025, allowing foreign tourists to convert cryptocurrency into Thai baht for QR code payments at hotels, shops, and restaurants. The system operates under strict KYC/AML regulations, with spending limits of 50,000–500,000 THB per month. While it promotes crypto adoption, it has restrictions like identity verification and spending caps. Alternatives like no KYC crypto wallets offer more privacy and flexibility for travelers who prefer fewer limitations.
