Spotify in Thailand?

[ReddoPossum]

Hi,

I want to set up a spotify account to use in Thailand (where I live). I have had 14 days of the free account and now can no longer access.

1. Do I need to buy premium to access in Thailand or can I get by with 'Unlimited?'

2. Spotify does not seem to accept my Thai credit card. Is there another way to pay - I have tried to open a paypal account but this was also not accepted.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just killed two birds with one stone and use Apple Music instead. My Apple account is American so I buy iTunes gift cards and I can listen to music without using a VPN. I'm don't with Spotify and their limited usage.

I have seen this conversation but there is so much that i am not sure where that leaves me. I subscribe to the premium in the UK. In August I will be retiring to Thailand. Am I going to be able to access my present account when that happens automatically or is there anything i need to do first?

As long as your payment method is from U.K. bank or any of your transaction is not from thailand would be fine. Hope u find this helpful

Do Thailand accounts have access to the same music catalog as US accounts?  Or does the music selection vary?
