Living in Thailand
Your first week in Thailand, without the admin scramble.
A calm order for the practical jobs that make everything else easier: your address, phone, transport, home records and first local routines.

Rent
Pay your rent by card, in baht.
Your host receives the full rent in their own Thai bank account, and you keep a receipt that says exactly what it was for.

September rent฿35,000
Paydeck service fee฿2,625
Total charged฿37,625
Your host gets exactly ฿35,000. The fee is ours, shown before you commit.
Monthly rent on autopilot
Set it once. Approve nothing blindly.
Fixed monthly rent can run automatically - with your written consent, at the exact amount your host confirmed, and with a re-check of your host's status before every single cycle. You can see the schedule and stop it any time, and nothing is ever charged without the total having been shown to you first.

What you need
Three things, then you're set.
Your lease or booking confirmation
Paydeck reads the property, the period and the amount from it - you check, you don't retype.
Your host's name and contact
That's all. Never their bank details - those are theirs to add, inside their own verification.
Your passport, once
A few minutes of identity verification the first time, then never again.
Against the bank transfer, honestly.
| International bank transfer | Paydeck | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs you | Sending fees plus a hidden FX margin, discovered afterwards | One service fee, itemised before you confirm |
| What your host receives | Often short, after intermediary fees | The exact rent, in full, in baht |
| Who you're paying | An account number | A verified host |
| Proof | A transfer slip showing money left you | A receipt naming the stay, the month and the purpose - kept for both sides |
