No, WAIWIN and JamJang are two separate apps. After helping thousands of people to pay in Thailand, we decided to rebrand, redesigned, rebuild our concept into new more powerful and functional app using different tech stack.

We gained valuable experience from our past journey, serving travelers from 57 countries. Now, with deeper insights and improved technology, we are ready to bring our solution to an even broader audience.

WAIWIN is a continuation of the JamJang concept, but with a refreshed brand identity designed to appeal to both Thai and international users. We chose a powerful six-letter meaningful name that is easy to recognize, remember, and type.

If you have unused funds, you can request a full refund. Refunds are processed within 12 hours, ensuring a smooth and reliable experience.

Additionally, you have the option to donate your remaining balance to one of our partnered charities. You will receive updates on how your donation is used and a personal thank-you message from the charity’s management. If you or your loved ones are in the area, expect a warm VIP welcome from the charitable team. Some charities are based in beautiful locations such as Ko Lanta or Chiang Mai. You will be able to see all charities in our waiwin app. Thai people and foreigners are doing amazing jobs in reducing plastic waste and helping animals. Those are two areas we are focusing on at the moment.

Top-ups are processed instantly in most cases. Our app was originally built for our own use, so we understand the importance of fast transactions. Even during off-hours (1–3 AM Thai time), we ensure top-ups are completed within 10–15 minutes.

We do provide WhatsApp contact numbers to our users to request any support. Our international team is available 24/7 

You can use a variety of services, including:

Recommended: Wise, Revolut, Paysend, Remitly, Skrill, N26

While PayPal and Western Union are also options, we do not recommend them due to longer processing times. 

Although rare, technical issues can occur. However, since our in-house development team manages the app (rather than outsourcing to third-party developers), we can promptly address and resolve any issues.

If you encounter a problem, simply take a screenshot or record a screen video and send it to us. We guarantee a same-day response and, as a token of our appreciation, we’ll treat you to a Thai milk tea! (The ChaTraMue brand we recommend ! 🙂
