Buy USDT with baht
PromptPay does not buy USDT. It moves baht into an exchange, and you buy USDT there. The exchange link on this page is Bybit. Open that screen for the fee. This page does not say Bybit holds a Thai SEC licence.
| Item | Bitkub | Bybit |
|---|---|---|
| PromptPay baht deposit | No fee | On the Bybit screen |
| Minimum deposit | 20 baht | On the Bybit screen |
| Maximum per deposit | Bank limit applies | On the Bybit screen |
| Trading fee, baht pairs | 0.25% | On the Bybit screen |
| Trading fee, crypto pairs | Per published schedule | On the Bybit screen |
| Baht withdrawal to bank | Per published schedule | On the Bybit screen |
- Open the Bybit link on this page, or a Thai-licensed exchange such as Bitkub, with an email and phone number you actually use
- Complete identity verification with a Thai ID card and a face scan. This is required by law and cannot be skipped
- Link a bank account in your own name. Third-party accounts are rejected
- Send baht via PromptPay above each platform's minimum
- On the trading screen, pick the USDT and baht pair and buy. A limit order beats a market order slightly if you are not in a hurry
- Only then open the casino cashier and read which network it wants before sending anything
Round-trip cost
People count one leg. You pay the trading fee twice, once buying USDT and once selling it back to baht, so around half a percent total, plus spread, plus a network fee that is trivial on Tron, plus whatever baht withdrawal fee the screen shows. This page does not print a 20 baht Bybit fee. Not large, but better known in advance.
On tax, kept separate
Ministerial Regulation No. 399 (B.E. 2568), published in the Royal Gazette on 5 September 2025, exempts personal income tax on gains from selling crypto through operators licensed by the Thai SEC, for income arising between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2029.
Can I skip identity verification
Not legally. Licensed Thai operators must run KYC. Anyone offering a shortcut is offering you a problem.
Can I use an e-wallet instead of a bank
Deposit channels differ by platform and change often. Check the funding page of the exchange on the day you plan to do it.
