Dear all, I'm currently cycling all around Southeast Asia ( www.jackandiva.com - beta) and looking to spend/trade some BTC along the way (it's the only money we have to fund the trip!). Not much can be found on http://coinmap.org for the remote parts of S.E.A. and neither on https://localbitcoins.com.... do you guys know of places which accept BTC or people that want to buy? Any other suggestions? We're really keen to pay for things in BTC and help promote it if possible! Thanks!  wow. I really give awards for you, friend. it is a very great trip. I want to participate with you. because I live in Indonesia. and Indonesia is Southeast asia. Bali may be one of suitable place for it. however, where I live far away from there. it took several days to achieve it: D We are in Pekanbaru, heading to Bukittinggi tomorrow hopefully - where are you? Bali may be too far away from us too  Did you go on a trip there? |

I live in SE Asia. The best advice is to post your current and next location occasionally so people can help out.
Thailand and Singapore are easy. Cambodia seems to have the worst pricing in the world.
Interesting idea - thanks! |

When in Thailand open an account at Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn Bank and have people on local bitcoins send you baht directly to your account instantly.
Thanks for the tip! So anyone can get a bank account in Thailand? So far I've not managed to find any bitcoin places in southeast Asia Even an ATM in George Town, Malaysia, was removed long ago Currently in Sumatra, Indonesia, and any tips for places here would be appreciated  |

Might be worth registering an account with Xapo, they will be providing a Debit Card on the Mastercard Network: https://xapo.com/in/campaign/debit/Wrote to their Customer Support yesterday, they replied with this:
Thank you for reaching out and supporting Xapo! We are actually still finalizing the last few details of the debit card. We will be sending out information to all of our users - that have pre-ordered the debit card - within the next few weeks regarding the delivery and shipping details.
I hope this answers your question and please don't hesitate to reach out and contact me again if you have any more questions or concerns!
All the best,
JessieA lot of SE-Asian merchants and retailers currently don't accept Bitcoin yet, but most will accept Mastercard - Could be handy for you and other traveling Bitcoiners, especially when you take into account retail FEx rates  Cheers for the tip, just registered! |

Well I live in India(a country in S.E.A  ) , and here in Delhi, India I can find you some people who will be ready to give you cash for btc, so if you come to delhi do tell it to me India is in south asia not south east asia. There is a difference. @OP: which countries in particular do you mean? There is a forum for country specific threads here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=11.0Oh yeah, Thanks for pointing that out to me, I didnt notice that he had written sount "EAST" asia, I thought he was talking about south asia Well I live in India(a country in S.E.A ) , and here in Delhi, India I can find you some people who will be ready to give you cash for btc, so if you come to delhi do tell it to me India is in south asia not south east asia.

I will check it out... We are going to Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand... with the possibility of cycling back to Europe too well best of luck to your trip to the south EAST asia, I dont think you would find many places to spend btc except for Singapore and Malaysia. Thanks for your support. We want to visit India, and certainly Delhi, at some point in the future and will be sure to be in touch if so! |

Is it just me or is that car really cheap?
It needs new brakes urgently, but yeah - it's a steal. |

Still waiting for the car  It's up, and another will be up soon. |
