Landing in Bangkok next week and this just dropped!

Thailand's SEC & Bank of Thailand want public feedback on a nationwide crypto sandbox for tourists - allowing you to swap BTC, ETH and more into Thai Baht, then spend it via QR codes at shops, restaurants, hotels, even street stalls.

Why this matters?
35M+ tourists in 2024, generating approximately 1.67T Baht - crypto access could boost revenue further.

Spend caps
50K Baht/mo at markets and 500K Baht/mo at certified vendors - max security & compliance 

This is not a test anymore - nationwide, regulated and public feedback ends August XX.

Impact in simple terms:
X. Crypto to Baht conversion on‑the‑spot
X. Spend in everyday places via familiar QR systems
X. No crypto wallets needed - just KYC and ready to go

Huge! I will be visiting for an extended period of time and this could make spending as easy as cash. If this goes live - crypto-native tourism is effing here!

Visa-free crypto travel could start here. Excited for the trip and how this might reset crypto tourism norms globally 👀
