This initiative aims to reduce cash usage in line with the &#8220;Smart City&#8221; concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the BMA is prepared to support the Bank of Thailand\u2019s (BOT) policy on ASEAN Payment Connectivity. This connection allows international tourists to make seamless, real-time payments at creative districts and local community shops. This serves as a vital mechanism for stimulating the grassroots economy and driving Bangkok toward becoming a world-class destination that truly meets the needs of a digital lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bot.or.th\/th\/financial-innovation\/digital-finance\/digital-payment\/cross-border-payment.html#accordion-60403f9376-item-47156e1136\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.bot.or.th\/th\/financial-innovation\/digital-finance\/digital-payment\/cross-border-payment.html#accordion-60403f9376-item-47156e1136<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has embra &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/?p=570815\" class=\"more-link\">\u0e2d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e19\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e40\u0e15\u0e34\u0e21<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8220;Elevating Community Economies and Enhancing Tourist Convenience through Borderless Digital Payment Systems&#8221;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":570816,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[277],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-570815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eng11"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=570815"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570815\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":570817,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570815\/revisions\/570817"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/570816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=570815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=570815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=570815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
