Visa, a global leader in digital payments, has partnered with Krungthai Bank (KTB), one of Thailand's leading financial institutions, to launch a cashless card payment service for tuk-tuks in pilot areas of Bangkok. This project is part of Visa Destinations Thailand, aimed at attracting international tourists while making daily travel easier and cashless. Card payments on tuk-tuks allow drivers to pick up more passengers, especially international tourists who don't carry cash, while also offering tourists a modern and convenient way to experience traditional Thai transportation. This aligns with Thailand's tourism development direction, which focuses on creating seamless experiences at every point.

Mr. Anthony Watson, Visa's Country Manager for Thailand, stated, "Daily travel is an integral part of people's urban experience, and payment should be equally easy. This collaboration with Krungthai Bank is a significant step for Visa Destinations Thailand in connecting traditional Thai transportation with global digital payment systems, enabling smoother travel for tourists and making it easier for tuk-tuk drivers to receive payments."
