近日，中國的支付寶和泰國的開泰銀行在曼谷旅遊熱點乍都乍週末市場宣稱，它們將在促進泰國二維碼支付方面加強合作。

The Thai Bank has already developed a mobile app which supports QR code payment for the Thai market.

這家泰國銀行已經爲泰國市場開發了一款支持二維碼掃描支付的手機應用。

Chinese tourists can use Alipay app to scan the QR code generated by the Kasikorn app to complete the buying with Thai sellers.

中國遊客可以使用支付寶掃描開泰銀行手機應用的二維碼，即可與泰國商家完成支付。

"Chinese accounts for the majority of my customers and we just began to use the Kasikorn app a few days ago and we hope it will make buying more convenient for the Chinese customers," said Piyanas, a woman selling clothes at the Jatujak Market.

在乍都乍週末市場上賣衣服的Piyanas說：“中國遊客佔據了我的客戶的絕大多數，幾天前我們剛開始使用開泰銀行手機應用，我們希望這可以讓中國顧客買東西更方便。”

在該市場裏舉行的一個新聞發佈會上，螞蟻金服泰國區經理Pipavin Sodprasert向新華社透露，有20000家泰國企業在使用他們的業務。

"I have been to China for many times and we hope Chinese tourists can encourage our society to use e-payment," said Patchara Samalapa, senior executive vice president of Kasikorn Bank, adding that Thai customers can also use their app to scan and to pay.

開泰銀行高級執行副總裁Patchara Samalapa稱：“我去過中國很多次了，我們希望中國遊客可以鼓勵我們的社會使用電子支付。”他還表示，泰國客戶也可以使用他們的應用掃描支付。

The bank said their app is the first one that supports QR Code payment in Thailand and they aim to cover some 200,000 shops around the kingdom by the end of this year.
