The reason lies in the fees that indirectly affect the cost of goods and services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When paying in cash, these include currency exchange fees and ATM withdrawal fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When paying with bank cards, these include fees for international transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By setting up a Thai e-wallet, you minimize bank fees, which means you\u2019ll pay no more than the local population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paying_at_Markets_and_Cafes_via_TAGTHAi\"><\/span>Paying at Markets and Cafes via TAGTHAi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markets and cafes make up the largest category of TAGTHAi partners, where QR code payments are widely accepted. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The MK Restaurants chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bar B Q Plaza grill restaurants;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The After You Dessert Cafe chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local Food Markets, night markets;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Hard Rock Cafe chain, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to buy food at an establishment that does not partner with TAGTHAi and plan to pay by card, be prepared for a 3% surcharge..&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paying_for_transportation_via_TAGTHAi\"><\/span>Paying for transportation via TAGTHAi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find out which transportation companies accept payment via TAGTHAi in the app using the built-in map and filters. For example, by clicking on Bangkok and selecting the \u201cTransport\u201d category, you\u2019ll see all the service\u2019s partners in the capital. These may include car rental companies, transfer organizers, private taxis, and transportation companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Popular among tourists are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Airport Shuttle Services \u2014 transfers in Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thai Rent A Car \u2014 a company where you can rent a car at a low price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chao Phraya River Boat \u2014 a river cruise operator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TAGTHAi is actively expanding its partner network, enabling users to access transportation services without overpaying, not only in major cities but also in smaller towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_features_of_TAGTHAi\"><\/span>Additional features of TAGTHAi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tag-1024x683.png\" alt=\"TagThai\" class=\"wp-image-8063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tag-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tag-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tag-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tag-750x500.png 750w, https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tag.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The capabilities of the digital wallet go beyond convenient payments for goods and services.
