Using a Thai Banking App in Laos

[banglay]

Hey everyone,

Quick question for those who've been to Laos recently, or if anyone has the latest info:

Can I use my Thai banking app (like Krungsri, Bangkok Bank, KBank, or Krungthai NEXT) to scan QR codes and pay for things in Laos?

I'm thinking about shops, restaurants, general bills – the usual stuff. It would be super convenient to avoid carrying too much cash or dealing with currency exchange if I can just scan and pay.

Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!
