location.payment.subtitle
QR payments popular with PromptPay. Cash still king for street food, local markets, songthaew transport. 7-Eleven and malls accept cards. Less touristy than Bangkok - more cash-dependent.
Bangkok Bank and Kasikornbank ATMs common - charge 220 THB foreign card fee. Currency exchange offices rare - use ATMs instead. Terminal 21 Korat mall accepts cards everywhere.
Tipping not expected in Thailand. 20 THB appreciated for exceptional service. Not a tipping culture - service workers do not rely on tips.
Tourist area with low crime rate
Safe city. Standard precautions. Be careful on roads to Khao Yai.
