Are there any advantages to using local payment apps while in Phuket?

Using local payment apps can offer several benefits, like special discounts at certain stores and restaurants. Apps like TrueMoney and Line Pay are popular in Thailand and can make transactions seamless.

• One major advantage is that they often provide better rates on services like food delivery or rideshare, which can save you some cash during your trip.

• Keep in mind that setting these apps up may require a Thai phone number or bank account, but if you're planning to stay for a while, it might be worth the effort.

Opening days, menus and prices change. Check recent information, confirm dietary needs directly and judge cleanliness, food turnover and storage rather than relying only on a high online rating.
