@EvSlatts So the short answer is no, you have to go to the Kbank exchanges and add it to the pay and tour card. The main benefit is once it's loaded up you get no fees on withdrawal from Kbank atms and you can use the Prompt pay, however no grab or online payments.
Thailand's 60-day visa-free → 30 days. What nomads need now:
→ DTV: 180 days/entry, 5yr validity. ~$415 + 40k THB/mo proof.
→ Consulate tourist visa: 90 days total (~$40).
→ Border runs: still legal (30 days).
On a current stamp? Fine until expiry.
