Looking for a bank in Thailand which offers debit cards which can be used to pay ebay or book online. The banks I have asked so far could not.

Never had any problems with Kasikorn, they also have an online "virtual card" for shopping.

***Moved to Banking forum***

Kasikorn and Bangkok Bank has debit cards that you can activate for online purchases.

Bangkok Bank, as said above, you need to activate it for online which you register your name to the card.

All the Thai debit cards can be used online.

All the Thai debit cards can be used online.

Provided you're purchasing in Thai baht. I've used my Krung Thai debit card to purchase from iherb.com, which is in California.... but also quotes in baht.

I use BKK Bank for all online purchases. You need to activate the card for online purchases first.

I use my Kasikorn virtual Debit Card. Been using it for years.

Do you have a Thai bank account?

I've used my Kasikorn debit card in various places like the UK and US over the internet.

It's just the ATM card that comes with a regular savings account, you need to specifically enable internet transactions with it or it won't work.

I believe airlines might have different rules and I've heard some people having issues with this type of card and some airlines in the past.

I've never used mine to book a flight, I use my 'real' bank cards for that kind of thing.

Bangbank Be1st Debit Card,

Using it for years in all currencies and never got rejected

Neither Ayudda or Thanachart ones work

Kasikorn; BBL. But if you are a new customer, perhaps they won't.

I have a classic debit card from KBank (classic means one that has my name actually embossed on it, and not one of their numerous "privilege" customer type cards that are stock issue at any branch) and a Rabbit BTS debit card from BBL.

I have used both for online purchases from a Thai based merchant (in THB), online purchases from non-Thai merchants (in foreign currencies) and used my KBank card physically overseas.

I did have to compete the one-time "verified by visa" process - but that's a one time shot and free..

Naturally, there can be foreign currency fees when the transaction is not done in THB's, but the transaction still was approved.

Kasikorn works after it is activated at the branch or ATM.

Always book my airline flights without any problems.

I would advise strongly against anyone using a debit card on line. The problem would be if the card number somehow got in to the hands of a scammer/thief through hacking or any other such means. Once the thief has this card details, he/she can clear out your bank account in seconds and there is no recourse through the bank so you would lose everything that you had, unlike a credit card where it's not your own money that the thief would be taking. My advise would be if you can't get a credit card, get a virtual credit card from you bank with a preset maximum spend.
