PromptPay

location.payment.cash

CASH ESSENTIAL! River Kwai town less developed. Bridge, war museums, waterfalls cash-based. Cards only in larger hotels. Bring enough baht from Bangkok.

location.payment.currency_exchange

Baht (THB). WWII historic town (Bridge over River Kwai) - VERY CASH-BASED! Death Railway museum, Hellfire Pass, Erawan Falls admission fees cash. Floating restaurants cash-preferred. Few ATMs in town center - 220฿ fee. PromptPay used by locals but needs Thai bank. 2-3 hours from Bangkok - withdraw cash before coming! War cemeteries, elephant camps cash. Budget guesthouses no cards. Plan all expenses in advance - limited banking infrastructure!
