However, the limit may be reviewed after the pilot period is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand is grappling with a decline in the number of foreign tourists visiting the country. On Monday, the country&#039;s government planning agency lowered its 2025 forecast for the number of foreign tourists by 10 percent, to 33 million. That would mean a significantly lower number of tourists than in the record year of 2019, when Thailand received 39.9 million visitors, generating around 560 billion kronor in revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tourists will be able to make the exchanges via Thailand-based crypto exchanges, after which the funds will be transferred to digital wallet applications. This will allow payments to be made to local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: DI.SE<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thailand kommer att till\u00e5ta utl\u00e4ndska bes\u00f6kare att v\u00e4xla kryptovalutor till baht f\u00f6r att g\u00f6ra lokala betalningar.
