Yes, is true. I just booked a condo in Bangkok and I was able to display prices in THB by changing currency to THB - and I was charged in THB regardless that I used a non-THB visa card. The savings were not signifcant as the amount paid was low and as a foreign currency conversion fee of 1.75% is applied by my credit card issuer.
