KannikaP Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Yes. You may need a SIM with phone connection to receive OTPs from some apps, although there is usually an email option. Edited March 17, 2023 by KannikaP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 If the tablet runs an Android or iOs the respecting apps will work. For Thai banks: But as already mentioned, to do transactions you need a separate device that receives SMS to your registered phone number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
