Thailand expands digital tourism payments and hospitality sector

Thailand is seeing significant developments in its tourism and hospitality sectors. The national tourism platform TAGTHAi has partnered with KASIKORNBANK, Siam Piwat, The Mall Group, and MBK Public Company Limited to expand its ‘Easy Pay’ service. This initiative aims to enhance cashless payments for international visitors across major shopping malls, allowing tourists to use an e-Wallet to pay via Thai QR codes while earning rewards and discounts.

In the hospitality sector, Ennismore and Central Pattana have announced the signing of the 25hours Hotel Bangkok. Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2029, the 345-room lifestyle hotel will be located in Siam Square as part of the CenTRal cENtrAL mixed-use development. The project is designed to integrate art-led hospitality with the creative culture of the district.
