Vacation and Bitcoin

[PsylockReborn]

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)

If only posting lies in this forum could make me rich. I just wanted to share my experience about me spending bitcoin while on vacation. When it comes to photos of me and my friends, that's private.   
Just spreading the good news to everyone who happens to stop by Thailand and wanted to experience using their bitcoins as a currency.
I understand that some of you in here do have trust issues, you need to deal with it yourselves.

Wow are you advertising for Thailand tourism industry 
Well what am glad to read is that bitcoin has gained acceptance and it can not be used as a purchasing power for various commodity and services

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.
The downside is that there are some remote beautiful places that has no internet connection.

This is the beauty of bitcoin where you can use it hazzle free if you are travelling a lot and every tourist destination must start accepting bitcoin for the convenience of the tourist. You do not need to convert to local fiat currency and all the obstacles doing that and the conversion charges, wish the culture of accepting bitcoin in tourist destination will grow in the future.

I've been seeing Thailand/bitcoin posts on r/bitcoin all the time. It must be very popular there. I imagine it is a fun country to have a vacation but the crime rate there is what scares me.

Also Thai Baht's symbol ฿ looks a lot like bitcoin's BTC so maybe that's the reason why they like btc so much.

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.

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

I am really impressed with your experience with vacation and even more surprised that a country like Thailand could be as open as you have described it. My initial thinking was Thailand might have gone the way of weak countries who felt the best way to handle bitcoin is to go the way of banning and also filled themselves with the idea that only  on dark web is where bitcoin is being used. I see this as a new opening for business for businesses in Thailand and the only thing left is government to ensure that crypto activities are done within the confines of the laws so as not to be abused by unscrupulous individuals.

Heard so many good news about cryptocurrency in this country and it looks really convenient for them to use it. Its always good to travel and find some place where you can easily use your bitcoin. Crime rate is just another reason why you have to choose where to go.

This is one of the things that people tend to forget, when they live in countries where Bitcoin is banned. You can still earn Bitcoin in your own country where Bitcoin is banned and still take all those bitcoins and have a wonderful vacation in a country where it is not banned. 

You do not have to explain anything to your local government and you will not reward them with tax income, if they do not want to allow Bitcoin in your country. It also gives you the option to take more money over the border for this holiday, than what would normally be allowed in your country. 

Bitcoin holidays circumvents capital controls. 

[LogitechMouse]

Well, this helps a bit for crypto. This will make the people curious about it. Its nice to see companies and establishments accepting different kinds of crypto as another way of payment.  I wish I can use my Bitcoin too in the future when I travel around the world.

[ETHICKNINE]

Thailand has become a great tourism place to spend a holiday because of wide range of sceneries and everything from food to accommodation can be fulfilled for the lowest cost possible and if Thailand as a country is combining bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency with there core businesses the out come will be much profitable and because it is a great tourism destination many people will get to know about Bitcoin and other altcoins very quickly 

[Viceroy]

Hey, I feel like I just visited Thailand after reading your post! I like the idea of crypto in travel industry. Makes sense and really needed there, so there would be no more lost money after a good party:) and exchange matter of course is easier with it.

[Teawhalee]

These are one of the true feeling that any bitcoin investor, holder and many more should experience because it brings the true value of that coin. This shows we are on the right track to making history with cryptocurrency.. There will more adoption especially when volatility issues is solved.

[Oceat]

I wonder if there are more places like this that could accept Bitcoin as payment, I would love to go too but since the market is still in the bearish trend I'll have to wait for the bullish trend.

You were so lucky OP because you find the right spot that accepts Bitcoin, most of the businesses in other countries they were focused on fast foods or a coffee shop who accepts crypto.

Well now you don't need to be lucky because adoption is here.

Are these limited only on a capital or around that place?

Don't know about the Thai's geography and spots but we will have a flight schedule on August this year. Places to visit are Phuket, Ko Samui and some other places on our itinerary. Not that Im interested on crypto payments but it's a good alternative. I still want to pay with fiat because don't want to harm my crypto with the current rates but instead of using credit card, I think crypto payments is a good alternative. No worries to bring only enough fiat on spot places.

I still don't experience to go outside the country, but my husband did go to Hong Kong last year and he isn't able to saw some restaurant that accepting bitcoin, or maybe he just isn't able to get into some store accepting it. Hopefully, when I will able to go there soon, bitcoin payments are already allowed so it will be easy and convenient for me to buy some stuffs.

[Mr. Ar_Mongi]

Bitcoin gradually penetrates into all aspects of human life. Rest is just the beginning. It seems to me that lightning network will do its job and soon we will be able to buy almost everything for bitcoins: from a flight to Mars (hi, Elon Musk) to some banal purchases and services such as products or hair cutting. It's just a matter of time.

[0t3p0t]

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.

Where to Spend Your Bitcoins in Bangkok, Thailand
“Bitcoin accepted in Bangkok”

Me too I haven't been using cryptocurrency in physical stores but I usually use it online with merchants. In terms of vacations and Bitcoin I think this is the fastest way to transact. I believe that some other countries will soon accept just like that of Thailand most especially on tourism as it is way more convenient. Confirmations are not a problem as long as there is an incoming transactions and we all know that it will really be successful for a few minutes.

Seems most of these places are pubs and bars. Are there any establishment you tried that accepts bitcoin? It seems that these places are ready for tourist that always ask acceptance of bitcoin. It would be nice to know if there is a hotel of supermarkets that also accepts bitcoin.

[morrisgonzalez]

I know some companies and chain shop and they accept bitcoin or cryptocurrency on payment method. In Thailand people can spend their vacation with bitcoin. They can pay bills, buying goods through the cryptocurrency, that's really great vacation they spend in Thailand. Moreover there are some companies they pay their employees with bitcoin, they also spend Bitcoin on their daily activities.

[xvids]

Good to know that there is a country that we could visit and spend only our crypto .
I hope I could earn enough money to travel too ,
Maybe next year if I could save enough crypto for a family trip we would visit it too,
But my wife also wants to visit Japan and France .
