11.1.1 Empowering the Thai Economy Through Digital Payments

Thailand has emerged as one of Southeast Asia’s most progressive countries in embracing blockchain innovation. The government has actively supported the development of digital asset frameworks, regulated exchanges, and pilot projects for crypto-based commerce — with a strong focus on compliance, tourism, and financial modernization.

PaywithCrypto is proud to align with this vision by launching our crypto-to-fiat POS in direct collaboration with a licensed and government-recognized exchange: COINS (Thailand).

11.1.2 Thailand’s Crypto-Forward Regulatory Landscape

• The Thai SEC and Ministry of Finance have issued clear regulations on cryptocurrency trading, digital asset service providers (VASPs), and business use cases.

• Thailand’s Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA) and the Bank of Thailand have explored CBDC, blockchain logistics, and regulated payment protocols.

11.1.3 Our Strategic Role in the National Vision

PaywithCrypto is positioned to support the Thai government's goals of:

• safe and legal use of digital assets

• Increasing financial inclusion for tourists and digital nomads

• Strengthening AML and KYC compliance in the private sector

• Reducing reliance on informal OTC markets for crypto cash-outs

By deploying a non-custodial, POS-based solution, we reduce the risk of black-market transactions while offering full visibility and control through KYC/KYB onboarding, and AML-backed transaction monitoring via COINS.

11.1.4 Regulated Merchant Onboarding

All PaywithCrypto merchants in Thailand are required to:

• Complete government-standard KYB onboarding
