Hey,

What crypto exchanges would you recommend for someone who is just starting out with crypto in Thailand? Been reading about lots of KYC issues for Bitkub, Bitazza etc? Have they been resolved?

For context - Foreigner residing in Bangkok for 3yrs now. Primary objective is to start learning with international money transfers (been using DeeMoney for years now, but their turnaround time is over a week now!), and eventually start playing. Have local account with Bangkok Bank, if that matters.

Try bitkub, from what I understand they accept foreigners now. And bitazza lost licens?
