When booking a hotel in Thailand with Ctrip and Elong, can I pay directly with a bank card or Alipay without a credit card guarantee? Prices include tax and service charges

Yes, my wife and I went to Thailand in July. We booked a hotel in Bangkok through eLong and paid directly with our Alipay account! It is equivalent to paying the money from the credit card to Alipay first, and then paying it to eLong through the Alipay account! There are fewer choices for hotels on Elong, but there are more choices for hotels on Agoda! Our hotels in Phuket, PP Island, and Chiang Mai are all booked through Agoda! There are no other fees, just leave a 20 baht tip in the room before going out every day! After the hotel reservation is successful, an electronic confirmation slip will be sent to your email. Download it and put it on your phone. When you get to the hotel front desk, just show him the picture!
