The Magical Thailand Prepaid Card – Travel Across the Country with One Card and Get Free Insurance
By MOOK Travel & Lifestyle Chen Guanxin, compiled and reported
Traveling abroad can be stressful when it comes to managing cash—too little and you run out, too much and you risk losing it. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Krungthai Bank to issue the “Magical Thailand” prepaid shopping card for use by foreign travelers. The prepaid card functions not only as an electronic cash card but also allows withdrawals at any ATM in Thailand. It offers discounts at major shopping malls and tourist attractions, along with complimentary medical and accident insurance coverage. Travelers can purchase the card at the ATTA counter at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok or at any Krungthai Bank foreign exchange service location.

The basic fee for the prepaid card is 100 Thai baht (approximately NT$99), with a maximum top-up amount of 30,000 Thai baht (approximately NT$29,700). Purchasing the card comes with a free 7-day insurance package covering up to 10,000 Thai baht (approximately NT$9,900) for outpatient medical treatment, 500,000 Thai baht (approximately NT$495,000) for inpatient medical care, and 1 million Thai baht (approximately NT$990,000) for accidental death. Travelers can also extend their accident and medical insurance coverage during their trip.

Additionally, the prepaid card can be used at all major shopping malls and attractions across Thailand. If you’re at a store that doesn’t accept the prepaid card, you can still withdraw cash from any ATM in Thailand using the card with zero transaction fees. Enjoy shopping discounts at key locations such as The Mall, Emporium, Siam Paragon, Paradise Park, MBK Center, King Power duty-free stores, Siam Park, Siam Niramit, and Safari World.
