Unexpected places where you can use TravelPay Money!

Explore, eat and stay unrestricted

Make travelling simple and seamless with the TravelPay Money card. This innovative card allows you to hold and swap between over 22 currencies, making it easy to spend your money in unexpected places worldwide. Here’s how TravelPay Money can come in handy at popular holiday gems. 

Hong Kong: Mong Kok’s Ladies’ Market

In Hong Kong and most Asian countries, street markets primarily operate on a cash basis. However, in recent times, the popularity of cards specifically Visa has significantly grown. For instance, at Mong Kok’s Ladies’ Market, more stalls have embraced payment platforms to help accept card payments. This means shopping and eating has become significantly easier for the everyday traveller.

 

Thailand: Erawan National Park

In Thailand, Erawan National Park is known for its stunning seven-tiered Erawan Falls, where visitors can swim in emerald pools. The park also features lush forests and caves, perfect for exploration. What makes this spot even more appealing is its acceptance of card payments at the entrance and nearby stalls, making it easier for travellers to enjoy this serene escape without the hassle of carrying cash.

Singapore: Haw Par Villa

Singapore is home to Haw Par Villa, a quirky theme park featuring over 1,000 statues and dioramas that depict Chinese mythology and folklore, including the famous Ten Courts of Hell. Visitors can explore the park’s unique and often surreal exhibits. While admission is free, card payments are accepted for guided tours and at the on-site cafe for refreshments.

Netherlands: The Village of Giethoorn

Known as the “Venice of the North”, Giethoorn is famous for its picturesque canals, thatched-roof houses, and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors can explore the village by renting electric boats, canoes, or bicycles, and many local shops and eateries accept card payments, making it easy to enjoy a meal or purchase souvenirs without cash.

South Africa: The Cradle of Humankind

A UNESCO World Heritage Site located just outside Johannesburg, this remarkable area is home to some of the world’s oldest hominid fossils and features several fascinating caves, including the Sterkfontein Caves, where significant archaeological discoveries have been made. Visitors can explore informative exhibitions at the visitor center and enjoy guided tours of the caves. Many attractions within the Cradle of Humankind, including restaurants and gift shops, accept card payments, making it convenient for travelers to enjoy this unique experience.

Conclusion

TravelPay Money simplifies managing your finances while traveling by offering versatile and convenient payment options, even in the most unexpected places. Embrace the ease and flexibility of TravelPay Money for a smoother travel experience across the globe.
