Information, not advice. This is general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Verify the current rules with a qualified local professional and the official regulator before acting.
How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of 26 June 2026, Binance is available to residents of Thailand through Binance TH by Gulf Binance, a locally licensed platform. Gulf Binance Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between Binance and Gulf Energy Development, and it holds digital asset exchange and broker licences supervised by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (Thai SEC). Thai residents are expected to use this licensed local platform, which supports the Thai baht, rather than the global Binance.com site, so confirm the current position on the Thai SEC register before acting.
Availability for Thai residents
As of 26 June 2026, Binance is available to residents of Thailand through Binance TH by Gulf Binance. The financial regulator is the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (Thai SEC), which licenses digital asset operators under the Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Businesses. Digital asset exchanges serving Thai residents must hold a Thai licence.
Binance entered Thailand through Gulf Binance Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Binance and Gulf Energy Development. Gulf Binance received digital asset exchange and broker licences and launched Binance TH, a platform built for Thai users with Thai baht deposits and withdrawals. The Thai SEC has also expanded measures around access to unlicensed offshore platforms, which reinforces the expectation that Thai residents use the licensed local route.
The licensed local platform and the global Binance.com site are not the same thing for regulatory purposes. Thai residents should treat Binance TH by Gulf Binance as the licensed channel and confirm its current standing on the Thai SEC register of licensed digital asset operators before acting.
Access, KYC, and products
Binance TH is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. Thai users fund accounts in Thai baht using local payment methods, and identity verification (know your customer, or KYC) is required before trading. Access is provided through the licensed Thai entity.
The product mix is set by Thai rules and by the scope of the Gulf Binance licences, so the products available on Binance TH can differ from those on the global platform. Confirm what is offered on Binance TH itself, and treat the licensed local platform as the channel intended for Thai residents.
How crypto is taxed in Thailand
Thailand taxes crypto under its Revenue Code, administered by the Revenue Department. Gains from crypto can be subject to personal income tax, although the government has at times introduced reliefs aimed at trading conducted through licensed local exchanges. The exact treatment depends on the type of activity and on current measures.
Rules and reliefs change and depend on personal circumstances, so confirm the current treatment with the Revenue Department or a qualified adviser. See the Thailand crypto tax page for a fuller explanation. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 26 June 2026).
Several platforms hold a Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand licence to serve Thai residents. Availability and products vary, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely licensed and available in Thailand before you choose.
Every availability status here is dated and checked against the named regulator's public register. We never place a link to a platform where it is not available.
