TouristDigiPay launches in Thailand on August 18
Tourists can convert crypto to baht easily
Boosts digital payments and crypto adoption

Starting August 18, Thailand will officially roll out TouristDigiPay , a new platform that allows international tourists to convert cryptocurrencies into Thai baht for seamless payments across the country. This move positions Thailand as one of the few nations actively embracing digital currency use in tourism.

The system is designed to simplify spending for visitors holding digital assets like Bitcoin , Ethereum , and other major cryptocurrencies. Once converted, the baht can be used for goods, services, and experiences—whether in markets, malls, or hotels—through supported digital payment platforms.

How TouristDigiPay Will Work

TouristDigiPay will function as a crypto-to-fiat conversion gateway, accessible through mobile devices. Tourists will be able to connect their crypto wallets, select the amount to convert, and receive an equivalent sum in baht, stored in a temporary digital wallet or linked payment method.

This system is not only aimed at enhancing the tourist experience, but also at encouraging Thailand’s broader digital economy goals. Officials hope that making crypto spending easier will increase tourist spending and attract more tech-savvy travelers.

The platform launch is backed by Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism in partnership with fintech and crypto firms, ensuring compliance and security.

By offering crypto conversion at scale, Thailand can potentially see a boost in tourist spending while strengthening its image as a modern, tech-friendly country.

Bernstein believes that the co-packaged optics (CPO) and fiber demand driven by Nvidia's Rubin Ultra architecture will surge significantly, with the optical content per Pod rising from $1 million to $5.4 million. This will propel the size of Nvidia's optical ecosystem market to $46.8 billion by 2028 (a 91% annual increase). Although the industry faces supply bottlenecks with InP substrates, the outlook remains positive. The institution reiterates its “outperform” rating for Lumentum, Coherent, and Ciena.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
