🇹🇭 Arrive à Bangkok avec 0 baht en pocheet paie tout en USDT, du tuk-tuk au rooftop.

C'est ca que vend la Thaïlande. Voyons ce qu’il y a vraiment derrière. 👇

L’app s’appelle WORPT. Lancée sous le sandbox TouristDigiPay de la SEC thaïlandaise.

🔍 Ce qu’elle fait vraiment :

→ Tu déposes de l’USDT ou de l’USDC
→ Conversion en bahts par un exchange licencié
→ Tu paies via les QR PromptPay
→ Le commerçant ne voit jamais un satoshi

⛓️ Ce qu’on ne te dit pas :

→ Bitcoin ? Non supporté. Stablecoins uniquement.
→ KYC complet, monitoring de chaque transaction
→ Plafond de 500 000 ฿/mois, 100 000 ฿ par paiement
→ 50 000 ฿/mois max chez les petits vendeurs
→ Aucun retrait. Le solde ne sort qu’à la fermeture du compte.
→ Reconversion plafonnée au montant d’origine

🧭 Lecture :

Ce n’est pas l’adoption de la crypto. C’est un entonnoir.
Dollars numériques à l’entrée, bahts à la sortie, et chaque flux tracé pour le régulateur.
L’interdiction de payer en crypto reste en vigueur. Elle est seulement contournée sous surveillance.

La Thaïlande ne veut pas de ta crypto. Elle veut tes dollars de touriste, sous forme lisible.

Et la vraie question : qu’est-ce qui sort de ce sandbox dans 18 mois ?

🧵 THAILAND IS BRINGING CRYPTO INTO EVERYDAY PAYMENTS.

The new WORPT app lets tourists convert USDT and USDC into Thai Baht and pay merchants through PromptPay.

But there’s a bigger story behind this Everyday Payments app.

It connects to the Jiaravanon family through Chaval Jiaravanon, whose business background also links him to @veloprotocol and @lightnetgroup.

And there is another important connection: WaanX previously appointed Rakkar as its digital asset custodian. Rakkar was later acquired by Astra Enterprise.

Here’s how the pieces fit together. 👇

Thailand is taking another step towards connecting digital assets with everyday payments.

WORPT, launched under the country’s Tourist DigiPay Regulatory Sandbox, allows foreign visitors to convert supported crypto assets into Thai Baht and pay participating merchants using Thailand’s PromptPay QR system.

No Thai bank account required.

The process is straightforward:

Tourists deposit supported USDT or USDC into the app.

The crypto is converted into Thai Baht, which is then used to pay merchants through PromptPay.

Merchants receive Baht, not cryptocurrency.

This is a regulated payment use case, not simply another crypto wallet.

Two companies are at the centre of the app:

@WaanExchange (WaanX), a Thai SEC-licensed digital asset exchange and broker, and WiPay, which provides the e-money and payment infrastructure.

The platform was developed with HashPay.

Now comes the interesting connection.

Waan Exchange was founded by Chaval Jiaravanon, who is also listed as the company’s CEO.

And Chaval is the son of Chatchaval Jiaravanon, a Thai businessman from the Chearavanont family, the family behind @CPGroup_Live.

This is a documented family connection, not just a name coincidence.

Chaval’s professional background also reaches into the digital asset infrastructure ecosystem.

His profile at Infinity Ventures Crypto lists previous roles including:

• Chief Digital Officer at @lightnetgroup
• Director at @Velo
• CEO of Snapask Thailand

These are relevant connections when looking at the wider network around digital payments and financial infrastructure.

There is also a direct business connection between WaanX and Rakkar.

In August 2024, Waan Exchange appointed Rakkar as its digital asset custodian.

The announcement included a statement from Chaval Jiaravanon himself.

This means the WaanX–Rakkar connection goes beyond overlapping people or family relationships. It was an actual documented business arrangement.

And here is where Astra enters the picture.

In 2026, Astra Enterprise acquired Rakkar Digital, a Thai-licensed digital asset custodian.

Chatchaval Jiaravanon is Co-Founder & Chairman at @lightnetgroup and @veloprotocol and Chairman at @Astratreasury.

So a company that previously served as custodian for Chaval’s WaanX is now part of Astra’s digital asset infrastructure portfolio.

The timeline is worth noting: the WaanX appointment dates back to 2024, before Astra’s acquisition.

Look at the broader picture:

WORPT connects crypto conversion with Thailand’s existing PromptPay payment network.

WaanX provides the regulated digital asset exchange component.

WiPay provides the payment and e-money layer.

Chaval connects WaanX to the wider Lightnet and Velo ecosystem through his professional background.

And the historical WaanX–Rakkar relationship creates another documented link to Astra and Chatchaval.

This does not mean Velo, Lightnet or Astra operate WORPT.

Nor does the historical custody appointment establish that the same arrangement remains in place today.

But the connections are worth following.

Thailand is moving digital assets closer to everyday payments, while people and companies connected to an established Southeast Asian financial infrastructure network are building across several parts of the ecosystem.

The interesting part may be how these separate pieces evolve from here.

Hovering was just step one. Now we're dialing in full aerodynamic flight control.

By directing high-speed airflow from ducted fans over curved surfaces, we're leveraging the Coandă effect to redirect airflow, generate 3D thrust vectoring, and refine flight stability.

And to top it off, a clean landing on the floor after the thrust blew the carpet away.

Voluntary markets require impartial infrastructure.
To test this assumption, I ran an experiment in Muster with @DontTraceMeBruh where we split an XMR payment.

Muster is a p2p coordination tool in Logos Basecamp, using Logos p2p modules and in this case, Monero (on stagenet).
