Forth Smart Service PCL runs a network of self-service kiosks and payment terminals in Thailand, best known for its Boonterm machines. These machines let people top up mobile phones, pay bills, buy digital services, and handle other small everyday transactions without going to a staffed counter. The company earns money mainly from transaction fees, service commissions, and related payments tied to activity on its machines and platform.

Its main customers are everyday consumers who need quick cashless or cash-based payment services, along with merchants and service providers that want their bills and top-ups distributed through a large physical network. It also works with telecom operators, utility companies, and other businesses that use its terminals as a sales and payment channel. That makes the company a middleman in the payments chain: it helps move small-value transactions from customers to service providers.

What makes this business different is that it combines technology with a wide on-the-ground kiosk network. Instead of relying only on banks or phone apps, it serves people who still prefer or need a nearby machine for routine transactions. In practice, it makes money every time a customer uses the network, so its business depends on how useful and convenient its machines are to both users and partner companies.
