Do you want to book a hotel in Thailand but you don’t a credit card or don’t want to use one? The good news is that you can book a hotel without a credit card. You don’t need to own or have access to any sort of credit card to make hotel bookings.
You don’t need to make bank transfers either, although some booking sites might offer that as an alternative to paying for hotels by credit card.
You can just book the hotel as you usually would and pay when you arrive. There is one drawback, it’s a limited number of hotels, but the numbers are growing.
If you are in Thailand already, you’re lucky; there are 80,000+ accommodations, including guest houses, apartments, vacation rentals, and hotels you can book without a credit card. In Thailand, you can pay for your hotel at a 7-Eleven store. Just go through the booking process, and then when it comes to payment, you just select the 7-Eleven option. You then receive a voucher which you can print off, or just let them scan it straight off your mobile phone.
The first option I mentioned is limited, but if you are booking hotels in tourist destinations like Pattaya or Bangkok, there is still actually a good choice of hotels to choose from. There’s no catch, I tried it myself and completed the whole booking process without being asked for credit card details at any time. That option is not limited to Thailand; you can book hotels with no credit card in any country you choose.
