I'm planning a trip to Thailand and I'm curious about the legality of Bitcoin there. I've heard different things about it being banned or regulated in different countries, so I want to make sure I'm informed before I go. Is Bitcoin considered illegal in Thailand? If so, are there any specific laws or regulations I should be aware of? And if it's not illegal, are there any restrictions or limitations on its use? I'd appreciate any information you can provide.

Licensed digital asset operators, encompassing exchanges, brokers, and dealers, are restricted to trading or exchanging cryptocurrencies that are specifically listed by the SEC. This ensures a level of regulation and transparency in the crypto market.

Crypto exchanges in Thailand are required to acquire licenses from the Thai Security and Exchange Commission (SEC). This is a mandatory step for any entity operating in the realm of cryptocurrencies and digital assets.

Notably, the Thai Baht is the only fiat currency that can be used for trading cryptocurrencies listed by the SEC. This maintains a strong link between the traditional financial system and the crypto market in Thailand.

Despite the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, they are not considered legal tender in Thailand. This means that cryptocurrencies cannot be used as a direct means of payment for goods and services.
