Might be worth registering an account with Xapo, they will be providing a Debit Card on the Mastercard, Visa? or Discover? 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 Cool

There are not many places in the South East Asian region which accepts Bitcoin, with the notable exception of Singapore. The only option is to convert your coins to fiat using Localbitcoins, and shop with the fiat cash.

In case you are visiting Singapore, then check the list of shops here:

Well I live in India(a country in S.E.A Grin

) , and here in Delhi, India I can find you some people who will be ready to give you cash for btc, so if you come to delhi do tell it to me Grin

India is in south asia not south east asia. There is a difference.

@OP: which countries in particular do you mean? There is a forum for country specific threads here:

Thanks for that, I didn't post there because I had (wrongly) thought that it was just for different languages - of which I don't speak! Grin

I will check it out...

We are going to Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand... with the possibility of cycling back to Europe too Cool

well best of luck to your trip to the south EAST asia, I dont think you would find many places to spend btc except for Singapore and Malaysia.

Thanks for your support. We want to visit India, and certainly Delhi, at some point in the future and will be sure to be in touch if so!

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!
