this venue fees, cited — no signup button
We do not have a referral agreement with this venue. The figures on this page still come from their published schedule. Their official fee page is listed in the sources. Partners we can route from this market are below.
Partners we can route from here:
10 of the 10 exchanges this site tracks accept sign-ups from Thailand, and that number — not a ranking — is where buying crypto here starts. Pick from the venues below, open the account through its review page, move money in over the local rail, and price the first order before placing it. The availability comes from the same offer-eligibility data the rest of this site runs on, and the cited figures were re-checked against official sources on 2026-08-04.
Venues accepting sign-ups from Thailand
Every venue below accepts registrations from Thailand today, per the offer-eligibility data this whole site enforces. The fee column is the published entry-tier spot taker rate where our dataset holds a cited figure; "Not recorded" means exactly that — a statement about our dataset, not about the exchange. Availability moves; the date above is the last check.
| Venue | Spot taker fee | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Binance | 0.100% | binance.com |
| Bybit | 0.1000% | bybit.com |
| OKX | 0.35% | okx.com |

From zero to the first order
- Pick a venue that accepts sign-ups from Thailand
- Open and verify the account
Begin at the Binance review here: it holds the routed referral link, the disclosure and whatever welcome terms apply. The form itself asks for an e-mail or phone number and a password; expect the usual verification pack afterwards — a government document and a selfie check — before meaningful limits unlock.
- Move money in over the local rail
PromptPay, launched in 2016, is the national payment infrastructure: money transfers via citizen ID, mobile number or bank account number through digital channels with lower fees. Check the rail's own charge as well as the exchange's deposit fee — they are separate costs and only one of them is on the fee page.
- Price the first order before placing it
Entry-tier spot taker on Binance is published at 0.100%. Run your own trade size through the fee calculator linked below before the first order — the fee schedule, not the interface, is what you pay for.
- Keep the tax picture in view
Gains from transferring cryptocurrency or digital tokens (the portion exceeding cost) are assessable income with 15% personal-income-tax withholding under the 2018 Revenue Code amendment; VAT at 7% is exempted for transfers through licensed exchanges, brokers and dealers from 1 January 2024. Export your trade history while you still have access to it — reconstructing a year of activity later costs far more than saving a file today.
Frequently asked questions

A digital asset business operator must obtain a licence from the Minister of Finance on the SEC's recommendation, under Section 26 of the Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E. 2561 (2018); the SEC publishes the licensed exchange list.
- Which exchanges accept sign-ups from Thailand?
- 10 of the 10 tracked here: Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, MEXC, CoinEx, Bitunix, BloFin, HTX, Bitget. Availability is enforced from the same eligibility data as the rest of this site and changes over time; the table above carries the last-checked date.
- How are crypto gains treated in Thailand?
