Availability for residents of Thailand

Access, identity checks, and products
Uphold is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. Residents of Thailand typically verify their identity and can then fund an account to buy, sell, and hold a range of crypto assets. The exact products offered to Thailand depend on local rules and on the authorisations Uphold holds, so check the platform itself for the current list.
Trying to bypass a location restriction, for example by using a virtual private network or a foreign address, can breach a platforms terms of service 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 oversees the taxation of crypto for residents, and gains can be subject to personal income tax. Thailand has at times granted relief for trades carried out through licensed operators, so the treatment depends on how and where you trade and on your wider circumstances.
Tax rules and reliefs 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).
Uphold and several other platforms serve residents of Thailand as of 26 June 2026. Availability and products vary, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely available in Thailand before you choose.
