Grab Thailand is entering a strategic alliance with Alipay and Kakao Pay to expand the payment alternatives available to Chinese and South Korean tourists who visit the country, an announcement from the company relayed. As the Thai tourism sector remains buoyant, Grab has identified Chinese tourists as pivotal to its strategy for this year.

 

“To better serve the Chinese market, Grab is joining forces with China’s most popular digital wallet and payment system, Alipay, which is used by more than 1 billion Chinese consumers. This collaboration aims to enable seamless payments via Alipay when using Grab services,” expressed Worachat Luxkanalode, Country Head of Grab Thailand.

 

In addition to Alipay, Grab Thailand is also reportedly integrating Kakao Pay, strengthening its payment services for South Korean tourists visiting Thailand. The two payment methodologies are gradually being incorporated for users and are estimated to be fully functional by the third quarter of the fiscal year.
