🇹🇭 Thailand allows tourists to pay for purchases with cryptocurrency by converting it into baht
Wipay and Waan Exchange have launched the WORPT app, which lets tourists convert USDT and USDC into Thai baht and pay for purchases using local QR codes.
💳 Cryptocurrency is not transferred directly to the merchant: it is exchanged for the national currency, which is used to make the payment. The service complements the government’s TouristDigiPay program, launched in 2025. The system is aimed at tourists and does not mean that cryptocurrency is recognized as legal tender in the country.
