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

Thailand has officially launched its innovative Digital Tourist Wallet, designed to enhance the travel experience for visitors by providing them with a convenient and efficient way to manage their expenses while exploring the country. However, despite the wallet's promising features and functionality, the integration of cryptocurrency options remains in a developmental phase, as it has yet to be fully operationalized outside of its testing environment, commonly referred to as the "sandbox." This delay in incorporating crypto capabilities raises questions about the future of digital currency within Thailand’s tourism ecosystem and its potential impact on attracting tech-savvy travelers. source: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/08/18/thailand-s-tourist-wallet-rolls-out-with-crypto-link-still-stuck-in-sandbox
