Google Play Prices Only in Thai Baht

[connda]

When using Google Play the only currency option is THB.  As an expat and not a Thai native, I don't want to pay for Android apps in Thai Baht.  I want to pay for them in my home country currency.  But, after spending most of the evening searching the Internet, I don't see any obvious way to change this.  It looks like Google Play Store looks at the firmware on your phone, identifies the device as a Thai device, and buddy...you're only payment option is Thai Baht.  This is the type of thing that happens when a company has a monopoly on software distribution.  Customer service and functionality be damned.  Perhaps someone else has run into the issue and has a workaround.  My workaround right now is to not buy anything from Google Play and continue using my computer.

I did a google search for "google play change currency" and got this

"The settings you have to change are at wallet.google.com. Sign in with your account, go to Settings, and change "Home address" to your new address. You might also have to change your phone number, and your default "Billing and delivery address" in the second tab."

As far as I remember, when I had google play, I used my U.K. Address, same for my bank
