Topic: Bitcoin in Southeast Asia? - page 2. (Read 2395 times)
Hmm...interesting. Would like to see additional data points outside of the forums.
Dear all,
I'm currently cycling all around Southeast Asia (www.jackandiva.com - beta) and looking to spend/trade some BTC along the way (it's the only money we have to fund the trip!). Not much can be found on http://coinmap.org for the remote parts of S.E.A. and neither on https://localbitcoins.com.... do you guys know of places which accept BTC or people that want to buy? Any other suggestions?
We're really keen to pay for things in BTC and help promote it if possible!
Thanks!

I really give awards for you, friend. it is a very great trip. I want to participate with you. because I live in Indonesia. and Indonesia is Southeast asia. Bali may be one of suitable place for it. however, where I live far away from there. it took several days to achieve it: D
We are in Pekanbaru, heading to Bukittinggi tomorrow hopefully - where are you? Bali may be too far away from us too
Did you go on a trip there?
how I found u ??
Just sent you a message. We arrive in Bukittinggi tomorrow but not sure where we are staying yet (hotel etc.). Will be there for ~5 days. Get in touch!

Thailand and Singapore are easy. Cambodia seems to have the worst pricing in the world.

How does Cambodia have the worst pricing? Last time I was there it was pretty cheap. A dollar here a dollar there. 50c beer ect.
Bitcoin pricing. Terrible place to buy or sell because so few traders. Fancy a $140 spread buy/sell?
In Thailand, on the other hand, you can occasionally get below Bitstamp prices because of tourists running out of money.

Interesting idea - thanks!
fyi, worst pricing in southeast asia, that i saw at least, was in laos.. their currency was pretty strong against the dollar, and they did not have a whole lot of infrastructure, which meant it cost me quite a bit to travel through the country. you had to pay $10 for a tuktuk ride across the city, about 10-15 miles or so.

I live in Indonesia, one of SEA country, no place accept bitcoin as payment in Indonesia, and the best place to exchange bitcoin to Indonesian Rupiah is https://x.bitcoin.co.id , the rate is very good and fast respond, but you should have a local bank account, the transaction through bank transfer. If you have no bank account you can ask someone to help you.
wish i could live in southeast asia for a time.. so cheap over there. you can be lazy and don't need to do anything and still get by comfortably on $600 a month

When in Thailand open an account at Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn Bank and have people on local bitcoins send you baht directly to your account instantly.
Thanks for the tip! So anyone can get a bank account in Thailand?So far I've not managed to find any bitcoin places in southeast Asia
Even an ATM in George Town, Malaysia, was removed long ago Currently in Sumatra, Indonesia, and any tips for places here would be appreciated
I don't know about Bangkok Bank but Kasikorn is the most popular bank with foreigners I think. They might require at least a tourist visa, not sure. But anyone can open one with their passport as ID if they have a visa for sure. Not sure about visa exempt status though, probably can still open an account but I'm not sure.
wow, sounds like a really interesting trip. Best of luck in your journeys and hopefully you are able to only use BTC along the way. That would be amazing.

Might be worth registering an account with Xapo, they will be providing a Debit Card on the Mastercard Network:
https://xapo.com/in/campaign/debit/
Wrote to their Customer Support yesterday, they replied with this:
Thank you for reaching out and supporting Xapo! We are actually still finalizing the last few details of the debit card. We will be sending out information to all of our users - that have pre-ordered the debit card - within the next few weeks regarding the delivery and shipping details.
I hope this answers your question and please don't hesitate to reach out and contact me again if you have any more questions or concerns!
All the best,
Jessie
A lot of SE-Asian merchants and retailers currently don't accept Bitcoin yet, but most will accept Mastercard - Could be handy for you and other traveling Bitcoiners, especially when you take into account retail FEx rates
