Been to Thailand and was amazed how some of the businesses adopted to crypto by accepting bitcoin payments. The very first thing that I look for are those places that accepts bitcoin payments. What I did is visit some good spots and was so excited to experience the fun and the idea of using bitcoin as payments in exchange for certain services or goods.

I can't forget the experience I had with The Pink Panther in Bangkok and was really amazed that I was able to pay all the bills with my bitcoins. Such an exciting vacation and adventure together with my friends.

We had also visited Wolff’s Bar and chill for a couple of minutes consuming few drinks.
What a wonderful country with good food and open minded people, embracing the idea of this new technology that we are in.
If you want to travel and chill with your friends and families, don't forget to visit Thailand. You can party all night, drink and eat all you can and just pay with your bitcoin. Less hassle and a lot safer than bringing cash with you. Grin
The downside is that there are some remote beautiful places that has no internet connection.

I'd definitely go back to Thailand next year. Can't wait for that moment to come. Cheesy

I think there is really a growing and mass-based interest with cryptocurrency in Thailand and the government in there is quite responsive to this emerging industry and in fact Thailand is one of the most crypto-friendly places in Asia. I am hoping that soon we in the Philippines can be able to catch up with this development as Bitcoin and the whole of cryptocurrency can be a big good tool to promote more tourism engagement. This is just actually scratching the surface as there are so many things that cryptocurrency can be helping and enhancing our travel experience especially with places that are already accepting Bitcoin.

Wow, that's amazing.  Shocked
I just found out that in Thailand we can use Bitcoin as a payment. Yeah, I think it's really cool. Because in my country, it's not allowed to use Bitcoin as a payment.
I think Thailand is a place I must visit, surely this will be very fun and I can feel how to use Bitcoin as a payment. Yeah, I will vacation in Thailand.  Cool

Thailand is a tourist attracting country. A large amount of money comes from the tourist section. Westerners or even easterners like to visit Thailand because of low expense holiday. The locals realized that it fairly easy to offer them Bitcoin payment hence they are doing it. This is the good side of Bitcoin.

I hope some day the unfortunate people from the poor countries can do the same once they will have a device and Internet available.

Oooo cool! Not gonna lie, I haven't used bitcoin in physical stores. So how did the whole process go? How many confirmations were needed until your payment was recognized? How long did wait?

I haven't been to thailand nor heard of those places, so I had to search if op is actually telling the truth and yes, they do accept bitcoin. Gonna leave the links here in case someone is the same as me.

I have seen a lot of companies , store and even online who now accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This kind of adoption cryptocurrency through using in payment method can really have huge impact in bitcoin community because the tendency is many people will buy bitcoin and the demand will increase so that price will increase as well.

I just found out that Bangkok apparently adopted crypto, a piece of very encouraging news, I became curious and wanted to surf the country of Bangkok. This will have a good impact on the development of crypto. It must be an amazing and amazing experience if crypto is an important and easy tool.

Nice! I won't ask for proof since I know Thailand it's very crypto-friendly and there's A LOT of places where you can use btc, but It'll be great if you can share some more details like how long did it take for them to confirm your payment? Do you have to wait for 1 confirmation on your tx? or once the tx is on the network you're good to go? Also, do you know if those merchants were using a third-party service like Bitpay?

Man, Thailand might become one of the biggest bitcoin hubs in Asia. Things are going so well for crypto that even the Stock Exchange of Thailand wans to trade bitcoin[1].

A pleasant experience for you, I personally have never planned to take a vacation out of the country for many reasons, which in general I also do not vacation often. Maybe in the future by looking at your story I will plan something to visit places that we can spend bitcoin there without requiring cash as it should be.

The first thing I think when I hear some countrys people have adopted crypto easily is that they must not have trust at their own currency. Just like Venezuela people turn to crypto because their own coin is worth nothing at this point. But crypto adoption is a good thing no matter for what reason it happens.

What a greate experience using bitcoin while enjoying your free time. Such practices will increase the incomes of firms or companies and, from a broad perspective, will have very beneficial results for countries that allow such practices. Because bitcoin offers limitless ways to make business for firms or companies.

And I guess the money you spend in going to Thailand are profits from trading?  Grin

Asian countries are very welcoming the future of money. It was Japan that I thought Bitcoin started because of the name Nakamoto, though its unsure he really is a Japanese. There were regulations set in this region like in Singapore which we see today there are cryptocurrencies created in these countries.

Everywhere the bitcoin growth keeps progressing, and the same has lead to the adoption on Marketplaces. Recently Indonesia and Philippines has got an increased user community using bitcoin. Vacation locations accepting bitcoin is good, because it'll be the center for the people from all over the world. This gives a positive impact on bitcoin on users who have never used it.

It's nice to know that another country like thailand already adopt this system, exciting to know that it really can be done if mass adoptions happen, with what OP's statement, it will lead bitcoin lovers to visit the place and experience not only the fun but also the actual process where bitcoin was been used
as a payment form.

Though I don't have that much of bitcoin but if in anyhow I'll be lucky to visit that country I'll also do the same thing, expending my bitcoin with
a real use on my everyday life around that place.

It is indeed awesome if you can went to vacation and spend your bitcoin on particular countries and i have not been went to thailand before but quite surprise with development of bitcoin at there when other countries still questioning the legality of bitcoin but thailand one step ahead can utilize the popularity of bitcoin and i think this is the advantages if the countries open their mind to bitcoin that it can be attract new tourist which is possibly bitcoin users to visiting them

Since you are about to travel around and spend your cryptocurrency means you are rich out of crypto and you have been in the game for a very long time ,I'm a newbie and I haven't make a dime either from my holdings or even bounties but I hope one day I will be able to explore the world using cryptocurrency

Or maybe he is just a wise investor and did sell on the top and keep buying in dips? So this post just shows that everything is really possible, and Bitcoin can be treated as form of money and you can easily use it whenever you want as long as the country to visited is crypto friendly. Obviously, Thailand is in Asia, and we all know that lots of crypto friendly in other Asian region as well and we do hope that other countries will really open their doors to crypto specially tourist destination.

Yeah I just know that Thailand accepted bitcoin usually for developing countries the government is a bit narrow mindes about crypto, its amazing that we can used bitcoin freely in the country, hopefully another country will follow soon, so we can having vacation with only a single currency, it will be an awesome experience

Cryptocurrencies are a perfect solution for people who are travelling. Why keep using currency exchanges all the time (or use the card and pay high exchange fees), if you can have one common in the whole world?

This is by the way how the coin currency had been used when coins were made out of precious metals. You could pay with a golden coin from England in Italy because gold had some universally acceptable value.

I was looking for some photos that can prove those places are being visited by OP though its easy to send some pictures caming from the internet (i am not saying that this is a lie just wanna find more realistic)

I doubt you can find proofs for that since op didn't post anything we could base on, like if they posted some pics, we could've done reverse image search. Hence why I could only dug infos about if these places really exist and if they're really accepting bitcoin.

I do understand your point tho, also crossed my mind. The fact that its all text bothers me, but I'm not gonna jump to conclusions unless I have a strong evidence. and this post made me aware of these places, too so that's a good thing, but ofc I wouldn't like it if op lied.

It would've been mentioned if they paid bitcoin directly for their whole trip since that's another great story, I doubt the op in that post would overlook it.

They're similar in a sense that both "trip" and "bitcoin" played a big part but I wouldn't say "almost the same".
