Cash use in Thailand, by situation 2019-2023

The share of cash transactions at POS (Point-of-Sale) in Thailand declined by one percentage points between 2019 and 2023. This is according to two different questions asked throughout multiple surveys from Statista's Consumer Insights. The numbers shown here refer to a rolling 12-month share of respondents who indicated they used cash in a brick and mortar shop or whilst shopping online. In 2019, the share of respondents using cash transactions at POS (Point-of-Sale) stood at 83 percent, which declined to 82 percent in 2023. On the other hand, during the same period, cash on delivery for online payments rose by eight percentage points. Moreover, the share of respondents paying cash in advance for online transactions stayed the same, at 15 percent.
