KoratThis is a gift, not a purchase, not an investment, and not a crowdfunding campaign with something to deliver. You send it, we receive it, and that is where it ends — nothing is left outstanding between us.
What supporting us does not buy
This section comes before the wallet addresses on purpose. It is what you should know before deciding, not afterwards.
- No badge or marking on your profile. Trust badges in Korat state evidence that costs something to fake — a shop vouching for you, transactions actually paid for. Money is not evidence of who you are, and we will not turn it into that.
- No feature, no entitlement, no raised limit. An account that supported us and an account that did not can do exactly the same things.
- No priority support. Your email sits in the same queue as everyone else's.
- No supporters list. We do not publish anybody's name — not from forgetfulness, but because a list presented as a reward is a reward.
- Nothing changes in the app at all. Nothing in the app even knows this page exists.
Why so strict. If this money returned any benefit inside the app, it would become a purchase of digital goods by Google Play's definition, and collecting for that outside their system is exactly what the policy prohibits. Thailand has no carve-out here.
A pure gift that unlocks nothing sits outside all of that. So it is built to be true by construction rather than by a promise not to — and for the same reason, the Korat app does not link to this page and does not mention it.
This is not an investment
Said plainly, because this one cannot be left vague: sending money or crypto to this page does not give you a share of revenue, equity, any right in the company, or any coin or token, now or in the future — and there is no promise of a return of any kind.
We have not issued a token, we are not selling one, and we have no plans to. If somebody offers to sell you a Korat token, that is not us.
PromptPay — what most Thai supporters will use
If you are in Thailand and just want to buy a coffee, this is the simplest route. No fee, no network to get wrong, and you see the destination account name in your own banking app before you confirm.
This channel is not set up yet. There is no active PromptPay number in the system.
We deliberately do not generate a PromptPay QR on this page, although we could. A payload we build wrong would look completely normal on screen and send the money to whoever the wrong proxy id belongs to. A QR exported from the account holder's own banking app cannot be wrong in that way, because the bank built it.
Crypto
We receive it and hold it. We do not convert it to baht through any exchange. This is not a payment service and nothing is being sold here — it is a gift, like every other channel on this page.
The most dangerous thing on this page is a right address on the wrong network. Coins like USDT and USDC exist on many networks and the address formats look alike. If you send across networks, to an address that is perfectly "valid" on a different one, the money is gone permanently — no reversal, no refund, and no support desk anywhere that can fix it, ours or anyone's.
So every row below carries the network name in its own label and has its own QR. Please compare the network in the row against the network selected in your wallet before you send.
This channel is not set up yet. There are no active wallet addresses in the system, so crypto cannot be sent right now.
Fees belong to the network, not to us, and we take no share of them. The figure beside each row is what a transfer typically costs, and it moves with how busy the network is. We chose networks mainly on fee, because a coffee-sized gift that costs more to send than it is worth is a gift nobody sends.
One thing worth knowing that is usually larger than the network fee itself: if you are sending from an exchange, the exchange's own withdrawal fee is normally the bigger cost, and it differs per network. Check it on your exchange's withdrawal screen before choosing a row.
The connect-wallet button
If you have a browser wallet extension (MetaMask and the like), a connect button appears by itself on the rows that support it. If you do not, no button appears — and that is not a fault. The address and QR above are the main path, and they work with JavaScript switched off entirely.
- What the button will ask for
- Permission to see your address, a switch to the network the row is for, and then your confirmation of a single transfer, of the amount you typed — that is all.
- What it will never ask for
- It will never ask you to sign a message (
personal_sign,eth_sign,signTypedData), and never for an allowance letting anything move your tokens later (approve). A donation page that asks you to sign something unusual is indistinguishable from a wallet drainer, and you are right to be suspicious of one. - Before you confirm in your wallet
- Compare the destination your wallet shows against the address printed next to the button on this page, character for character. That is the check that actually works, and it is why we print the address there a second time.
- After you send
- We show the transaction hash with a link to a block explorer, and we say pending — not "done". Broadcasting a transaction is not the same as it being written into a block, and we will not tell you it arrived before it has.
Some networks have no button, and will not get one. Solana is not an EVM network — MetaMask cannot send it; it needs a different kind of wallet and a completely different API. Bitcoin is not a smart-contract network at all. In both cases we give the address and a QR rather than a button that does nothing when pressed.
Tax, and the questions we do not have answers to
We would rather name what is unsettled than write a confident-sounding answer ourselves. Same standard our privacy notice applies to PDPA s.26 — where we have not had a specialist answer something, we say we have not.
- Money received with nothing given in return may count as income rather than a gift for tax purposes, however much it feels like generosity. Thailand's Revenue Code has no general principle that gifts are not income — a gift is income that s.42 may or may not exempt, and the nearest exemption is written for support out of moral duty and for gifts on ceremonial or customary occasions, neither of which a stranger on the internet obviously fits. An accountant needs to settle this and we have not done that yet.
- Crypto does not wait until it is sold. The Revenue Department's own crypto manual treats cryptocurrency received "from a gift" as assessable income under s.40(8), valued at the moment it is received — so receiving and holding is already a taxable event, with no sale involved. What is unclear is whether the s.42 exemptions reach it at all, because that manual does not mention them.
- Thailand's Control of Solicitation Act B.E. 2487 governs asking the public for money. The open question is whether it reaches asking for support for your own work on your own website. We chose the wording "support the work the team is doing" rather than "donate to our cause", because wording affects the answer — but we do not treat choosing the wording as the answer.
What is reasonably clear. Receiving crypto into a wallet whose keys we hold ourselves, without operating an exchange, a brokerage or custody for anyone else, is not a licensed digital-asset business. And because we do not convert to baht, no licensed exchange enters the picture.
And because nothing is sold here, this is not using crypto to pay for goods or services.
If you would rather not send money
Worth just as much and costs nothing: tell us what is broken, report content when you see something wrong, tell a shop you like that they could open a page, or just use it and mention it to a friend. hello@koratland.com is always open, and the contact page says which address suits what.
