1. Choose a wallet
Start with a self-custody wallet for long-term holdings and a mobile wallet for daily spending. Hardware wallets like Ledger add an extra layer of security.

Everything you need to get started with Bitcoin in Thailand, from your first wallet to spending sats in daily life.
2. Buy your first BTC
Use a trusted global exchange or a local peer-to-peer option. Verify identity, fund your account, and place your first order.
3. Secure your keys
Write down your seed phrase offline and never share it. Self-custody means you are your own bank, so backups matter.
4. Spend and live with BTC
Find merchants, ATMs and services across Bangkok and Thailand that accept Bitcoin for everyday life.
