Thailand’s Digital Tourist Wallet Rolls Out, With Crypto Link Still Stuck in Sandbox

Thailand’s much-hyped digital tourist wallet is finally live—just don’t ask about the crypto features.

The government’s flagship fintech project promises seamless spending for visitors, but its blockchain ambitions are still stuck in testing limbo. While traditional e-payments get the green light, the promised crypto integration remains buried under regulatory sand.

Tourists can now tap-and-go with fiat, but the vision of borderless digital asset spending? That’ll require more paperwork—and patience. Classic finance strikes again: innovate first, ask permission never.
