"Shops that don't accept credit cards are quite common, but those that don't take credit cards and instead accept Bitcoin are relatively new. Pattaya, a popular resort destination in Thailand, has such a bar, and they've even placed a sign at the entrance to remind customers of this rule.

On a popular foreign discussion forum, Reddit, someone posted a photo in the Bitcoin discussion section. The picture showed a sign at the entrance of a bar, listing the bar's rules. Apart from prohibiting outside food and pets, what's especially unique is that it tells customers they don't accept credit cards but right next to it, there's a sign that says, ""Bitcoin Accepted Here.""

In some shops or restaurants in Thailand, if you want to pay with a credit card, the establishment usually charges an additional 3% handling fee, and there's often a minimum spending requirement. As a result, tourists traveling to Thailand usually carry more cash. However, with the increasing use of Bitcoin, this situation may become more common."

It seems that Bitcoin is still widely accepted.

The owner of this bar is definitely unconventional.
