The event was recently held at Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, Rachadamri Rd.

KTC has been one of the leading financial institutions that provide Alipay O2O (Online to Offline) services in Thailand since late 2015. This is to facilitate Chinese travellers in making payments through Alipay Wallet. All participating stores will use a QR Code reader to scan the QR code generated in customers' Alipay mobile application This will absolutely be modern, fast and convenient for both customers and sellers. It is expected to encourage Chinese travellers to shop and pay more. Besides, the collaboration with Alipay will be another way to help promoting Thailand's retailers to Chinese people through promotion advertisements displayed on Alipay mobile application.
