Default Mastercard in Asia, especially Thailand

Due to unfavourable changes in my Visa rewards program, I am considering
switching to Mastercard.

On my previous visits to SE Asia, I have used Visa almost everywhere, but
did not really notice whether MC was as widely accepted.

Is Mastercard as common as Visa in SE Asia, especially in Thailand?

Used both and in my opinion it's about the same acceptance in Thailand and
the Philippines.
Cheers, Tom

You don't see as many people using MasterCard but everywhere that accepts
Visa seems also to accept MasterCard. I use MasterCard and have never yet
had a problem anywhere in Asia Pacific.

I have NEVER EVER had any problems using my MasterCard in Thailand. I
use it mainly for hotel payments but never experienced any problems.
