Spend money at China Update 2026

22/01/2569

Travel China 2569 What kind of money is the most convenient to spend?

It depends on the trip, the number of people and the city as well. What cases do you find? Let's share it. These updates are often available. Users will be more convenient. Oh, and there are safety rules.

Apps used

1 Card tie with the Chinese app Ali Pay and V Chat Pay. Both travel cards, credit cards. Only some credit cards, such as Union Pay, see that there is no foreign exchange fee.

2 convenient to use, transfer via Thai app, mobile banking or wallet

• K plus covers both AliPay WechatPay and UnionPay, but WechatPay is only available by the way we scan the store QR code. There is no QR payment that allows the store to scan us. AliPay and UnionPay can either scan the store or have the store scan us.

* * * The rating of UnionPay is slightly lower than Alipay. In the scan shop, we press QR to pay, must choose the right-most bar.

1) AliPay 2) Weixin or WechatPay and 3) UnionPay with UnionPay or YunshanFu symbols

• TrueMoney wallet only supports AliPay. WechatPay cannot be scanned.

How to use

1. We open the QR scanning app of the store.

2 types, we open the QR at our own app to let the store (shoot) scan our QR

If you can't imagine adding friends through the same green app

3. Confirm the identity of Chinese apps in both Alipay and V Chat Pay. Do it in Thailand before you go. For example, you want to use a mini app to call a taxi or use public transportation. If you go to a private tour and spend a lot, do not use other mini apps, do not need to confirm, depending on the nature of the trip.

Which type is good to use?

1 See the exchange rate (rate). The currency may include the fees. Try checking again before transferring the high balance.

2 usage fee

• Both Ali Pell and V Chat Pay Card Binding Group charge every Chinese leg that exceeds 200 yuan per time. V Chat Pay is a little more expensive than I tried to press or use the separate transfer list to the store first.

• TruemoneyWallet transfers more than 200 yuan per time, no surcharge of 3% (note also rated)

3. You can't transfer to your personal account. For card binding app, because anti-fraud must be a store account. But if the Thai app group can transfer to a personal account, there is a minimum. For example, some people go to hire a Chinese photographer, depending on the nature of travel. If we do not have the same activity, then do not need to use.

4 Indispensable to transfer money in, but do not forget to check the remittance to return to Thailand as well

* * * Thai Transfer Card Tie-In Instant Transfer Out Wait 2 Business Days

* * * Like the Thai app, transfer money in immediately, transfer out * * * * * * * So don't transfer a lot. This one personally doesn't like this method at all, as if it is convenient to use, but don't say that if not used, can't transfer back, must leave money like that.

* * * Top up through K plus does not exceed 500 yuan at a time, does not exceed 2,000 yuan per day, and together does not exceed 10,000 yuan per year, data March 2025.

Anyone can think of anything else or have a question, leave a comment. Friends who have already gone will share.

When actually using

• The way to fill in the code seems normal, but sometimes forget if you press slowly, it will freeze. The session timeout that you can't pay may be confused. Don't panic. Press a new scan to enter the code quickly.

• Alipay has an NFC method, activate the mobile and touch the store device. The face is a round sheet with blue lights around the circle. Personal opinion does not recommend this method because the crooks may imitate the money suction device from our machine.

• V Chat Pay can allow face scanning instead of filling in the code. This method is convenient, fast, safe, but remember to check the balance first.

Summary

How to spend money If you travel by yourself, you should use the Chinese app mainly. It must be for both Ali Pay and V Chat Pay and confirm your identity from Thailand before you go. Because some cities that meet (other cities may be different) are Tencent cities. Restaurants that tourists or locals go to have only Q R menus through V Chat have never found Alipay. But when you pay, you can pay whatever you pay. It's just a food ordering app, you can pay through V Chat.

Anyone with advice or anything, please update and share.
