QR payments EVERYWHERE! PromptPay dominates - markets, taxis, food stalls all have QR codes. TAGTHAi Easy Pay launched 2025 lets tourists pay via Thai QR with foreign cards. Cash still needed for longtail boats, beach vendors, some street food. Very digital-friendly beach destination.
Baht (THB). ATMs everywhere but charge 220 THB (~$6) foreign card fee! Kasikornbank and Bangkok Bank ATMs most reliable. AVOID: Airport exchange and hotel - poor rates. Ao Nang Beach area many exchange booths - compare rates. TouristDigi Pay initiative 2025 aims to reduce cash dependence. Island hopping needs cash planning - Koh Phi Phi ATMs limited. Affordable beach paradise.
Tipping not expected in Thailand. 20-50 THB appreciated for exceptional service at resorts. Some upscale restaurants add 10% service charge. Round up boat/taxi fares.
