Phemex does not list Thailand among the restricted territories in the Phemex Terms of Use as of 26 June 2026, so it offers services to residents of Thailand. However, Phemex is not licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand, and Thai law requires digital asset trading to go through a licensed operator, so confirm the current position and consider a licensed exchange 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, Phemex does not list Thailand among the restricted territories in the Phemex Terms of Use, so it offers services to residents of Thailand. However, Phemex is not licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand, and Thai law requires digital asset trading to be carried out through a Thai licensed operator. The Thai SEC has moved to block access to several unlicensed offshore platforms, so the safer route is to use a Thai licensed exchange and to confirm the current position before acting.
Availability for residents of Thailand
As of 26 June 2026, Thailand does not appear on the list of restricted territories in the Phemex Terms of Use, so Phemex offers its services to residents of Thailand. Identity verification, known as know your customer, is required before trading, and the products available can vary by country.
Thailand regulates digital asset businesses through the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand, under the Digital Asset Business Decree. Operating a digital asset exchange for people in Thailand requires a license from the Thai SEC, and since 2025 the Thai SEC has acted to block access to several unlicensed offshore platforms. Phemex is not among the operators licensed by the Thai SEC, so using it carries the risk that access can be restricted and that local investor protections do not apply. Confirm the current position with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand.
Because availability and licensing can change, treat this status as accurate as of 26 June 2026 and confirm the current position in the Phemex Terms of Use and with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand before acting.
Access, identity checks, and products
Phemex is a custodial platform that offers crypto spot trading and derivatives, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. The exact products offered to a country depend on local rules, so check the platform itself for the current list.
Derivatives products carry a high level of risk and are not offered everywhere. Trying to bypass a location restriction, for example by using a virtual private network or a foreign address, can breach the Phemex Terms of Use and put funds and account access at risk. The safer route is to use a platform that openly serves Thailand and to verify its status before signing up.
How crypto is taxed in Thailand
Crypto can be taxable in Thailand. As of 26 June 2026, the Revenue Department can tax gains from crypto trading, and specific rules and exemptions have applied to trading carried out through licensed Thai exchanges. The treatment depends on your circumstances and on the platform used.
Tax rules change and depend on your situation, so confirm the current treatment with the Revenue Department or a qualified tax professional. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 26 June 2026).
Phemex offers services to residents of Thailand as of 26 June 2026, but it is not licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand. Thai law requires digital asset trading to go through a licensed operator, 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.
