For eg, restaurants in malls. But usually they accept credit card too and I’ll just use that.

Alternatively is to do promptpay to a thai phone number. UOB rates are the best. By default, the setting allows for receiving payment from an overseas account. Some of them turn it off, but I think less than 5% of those I encounter turn that function off.

The personal or business account QR by right, all must use business. By right. Haha

Initially I wanted to try using QR to pay for in the mom n pop store and night market/street food but after seeing what you mention , guess cc and cash is still more reliable.

Might try to use QR code for payment if I’m in restaurants.

Thanks for the clarification bro

There was once i go to sky bar there and want to scan to pay.
Unable to scan. Error and cannot pay by credit card. Cash also not enough.
Lucky i able to send money via mobil number promptypay to thai friend and thai friend scan the QR and make payment.

Yes initially think if this promptpay QR code reliable then don’t need to bring so much cash over but I think end of the day nothing beats cold hard cash or cc

Thanks bro
