Actually LCS not as good as it used to be. Most of the sellers asking for ID these days. Umm no thanks, I'm not paying a premium for non-KYC bitcoin so that I can send some random dude a copy of my passport!!!

Robosats might be a good option. You'd need to get money from your Thai bank into Wise or Revolut but that's not too hard. I think some sellers also accept Western Union or Moneygram. You could also try going to some meet ups in Bangkok or Chiang Mai and finding sellers there. Good luck!

Thanks. I started down the Revolut and Robosats road a while ago but gave up, can't remember why, anyway I've looked a bit closer at Revolut and I'm giving another go. Let's see what happens. Thanks again for you advice🫂💜🐘🇹🇭

You can also use SWIFT transfer (Thai bank or Western Union) to send money to Wise or Revolut. Probably starts to get a bit fee-heavy, but hey anything's better than keeping it in fiat!

Revolut also has annoying transaction and daily/monthly limits and onerous KYC for BTC. Wise on the other hand hates BTC but there seems to be no limit how much you can transfer to another's account in order to buy BTC on Robosats, for example.

I've gone back to hodl hodl it's the easiest option at the moment and the premium people are charging is much lower than in the past. Happy days.

Good to know, thank you
