Grab in BKK

[xmen]

If I am using Thai telco prepaid sim instead of roaming from my own SG number, I take it I have to either register the Grab app with the Thai number or can I stick back using the SG registered number with the app?

no need change anything, just book as normal.

Stick to SG number, grab app will auto switch to Thailand mode. Same for Malaysia.
In Malaysia, I top up Grab pay for transport, don't have to fork out cash. You can try it BKK. That note that remaining amount will be left inside Thailand/ Malaysia wallet. So don't top up too much.

Grab pay auto deduct, don't need to look for small change. Something 500 baht driver also don't have change.

I think its best practice to always have a healthy amount of small change

In thailand its needed for BTS
in MY if you give street vendor RM$50 for RM$10 stuff they will give you black face

Yes, got change quickly change some small notes. 1,000 baht is very big already, yet money change give us all in 1,000 baht note.

ironically i think changing money in Thailand is better,both for the rates and that they will give you exact

1st thing i usually do is go to a 7-11 or a cafeteria, to buy something small to break my baht

Can pay using credit card?

Can pay using credit card?

Can, depend on the card charges.

 

[really_noob]

I always pay for my MY/TH/Indo grab rides charged direct to credit card. Don't want to top up wallet and let grab earn interest, also no credit card benefits for topping up grab wallet.
