I have been traveling for some time now, so I can share my experience:

Thailand - mainly cash, QR payment, bank transfer, when paying by card: +3%

Cambodia – cash, cash, cash. Dollars and Riel. When paying by card: +3%-5%

Laos – cash, cash, cash

Malaysia – card and cash, sometimes QR payment, fast transfers,

Indonesia – cash, QR codes, transfers, card in large stores, but the transaction takes a lot of time (they don't know how to use contactless payments)

Palau – cash/card

Taiwan – cash/card

South Korea – cash and metro/city cards. Regular (non korean) cards only accepted at 7/11

Japan – mostly cash. Cards accepted at 7/11 stores and other large stores

Poland – cashless everywhere. Cash is almost non-existent these days
