More spots around Bangkok now accept Bitcoin Lightning—check the merchant map at BTCmap.org. It’s slowly gaining traction here in this massive city, often led by the younger generation waking up to their power as the change.

We still need way more accepting merchants, but as Bitcoiners, our job is simple: support them. Spend, replace, and drive adoption. Sure, the “digital gold, just HODL” narrative is popular, but spending your sats matters too. I used to hoard more than spend—until I realized why circulation fuels the network. Tip: After paying with Bitcoin, buy twice as much back with fiat to feel unstoppable using the hardest money on earth.

Head to Samut Prakan (just outside Bangkok) for coffee Ramita Coffee & Bistro and lunch Samchai Roast Pork Rice on the same street, all payable with Bitcoin. Super accessible via BTS Skytrain—no excuses if you’re in town. Pair it with nearby gems like the Erawan Museum or Ancient City for an epic day out in Bangkok.
