I have a paypal US Account but living in Thailand and have no US phone number. I want to use my paypal to pay money for stuffs that don't accept credit cards. But I couldn't get the sms. And when I contacted paypal agent on phone, she told me to open account in Thailand. But currently has no service of paypal in Thailand. Please help suggest.

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.

You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.

You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.
And yes you can send and receive Paypal payments in Thailand.
