Here are banks in Thailand and the benefits they offer:

Krungsri

Waiving Credit Card Fees
Many credit cards in Thailand have annual fee waiver conditions, such as using the card a minimum number of times or spending a minimum amount during the year.
However, this is not always the case.
If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you may still be able to avoid the annual fee. Just call their call center and ask for a fee waiver.
In many cases, they may waive the fee.
Credit Card Comparison Websites
You can look up Thai credit cards and their benefits and requirements using a credit card comparison website such as masii.
One reason to check out masii’s credit card comparison website is that it offers some information in English.
As with any comparison site, it may not list every card or every feature, so check the bank’s website for the latest conditions before applying.
