  1. I would never use it to pay at gogo bars or massage shops. It would be more useful for small amounts on some occasions. After Covid, I had a situation where I wanted to rent a bicycle on Ko Kret and the only way of payment was Scan Pay. Luckily my companion of the day called a friend who could pay it. Maybe this was only because shortly after Covid.
  2. https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/personal/digital-banking/pages/pay&tour.aspx Here is the downside: You cannot top it up with Thai Baht, i think you must exchange with Kasikorn exchange rate Thats a scam!
  3. I think it is a prepaid visa card?
  4. Is this new? Just saw it on instagram. https://www.tagthai.com/easy-pay It is from Kasikorn Bank You can top it up with Thai Baht (so not forced to use the bad echange rates of banks) You can Scan-Pay without having a bank account You can withdraw from Kasikorn Atms without fee Didn't have time to inquire further, maybe there is some downside. Anyone using it? Could be useful supposed the money is save when the phone is lost: If you bring a lot of cash to Thailand you could top up the app without loss, and it would eventually be safer.
  5. your karma for always haggling down prices 😁
  6. Won't happen too often, because: you don't plan to be in BKK before 2029 I resort to Baan Silom only in case The Quarter Silom is full (never happened so far) or rate is higher than I am willing to pay (happened last time) Personally I like Baan Silom less than the Quarter because rooms arent really dark with curtains closed bed was a bit on the harder side no pool no gym
  7. I have in mind visiting Da Lat, but last time in February I decided it was just a tit to cold for my taste ... so April to June it must be, but not this year.
  8. There is still space for 3 more such villages ... or have they constructed the leaning tower of Pisa yet?
  9. It looks like the Vietnamese like ancient buildings and cable cars. On the Bana hills near Danang they have constructed a medieval french village.
  10. Thats cheap! I thought 1 dong = 2500 baht (shorttime)
  11. One should also note he sells food supplements, so maybe not genius but business genius?
  12. Just because we can't see the cables of the elevator doesn't mean they are in better shape.
  13. Laos comes somewhat surprising, as it is poorer than Thailand, no? This "duty of sending money to family" - thing also happens within Thailand, from Bangkok to Isaan etc. I think this wasn't mentioned in that other topic about debt of the Thai middle class. I think it is really hard to accumulate any wealth for a guy who has a middle class job in Bangkok and a rather poor family in Isaan, even if he is not shopping or gambling addicted. Alls those bills, hospital bill for grandfather, school fees for 3 brothers and sisters, funerals, repair roof etc are neverending and add up to quite a significant amount.
  14. and it looked like there was not only money in his underwear but also a big c
  15. This is exactly the guy I am lusting after since I saw him performing at The Best Bar on Feb 25 + Feb26 and you and I are not alone with that! All I got was a kiss on his belly, a picture together with him and the videos I took of the performance. After the show they seemed a bit in a hurry leaving the bar, no chance to discretely ask for an off and I am a shy guy anyway. Sorry in advance that I dont post videos of guys on a public forum.
  16. Are you now a mamasan who assigns the numbers?
  17. Your guardian angel who was sure you offed the guy to go to the church will get scolded by his boss!
  18. Its true!
  19. I took it recently and actually it departed every 20 minutes. But online you can prebook only the full hour busses.

  21. If you are in Thailand, some airlines offer cash payment at 7/11. Bangkok Air does. You book your flight on internet, and then choose as payment method, i don't know now what it is called, "Cash at 7/11". You receive a mail, go to 7/11 within a certain time, i think something like 2 hours, show the barcode to the cashier and pay him. There is a very small fee. After paying, you receive the booking confirmation of your flight.
  22. I got 2 times within 2 years an email from Bangkok Air that their customer data has been stolen. One time was in clear proximity to my credit card being misused. Since then, I don't use my main CC anymore for Bangkok Air bookings, actually for all regional flights outside Europe. The other case of my cc being misused was in proximity to topping up my AIS simcard. Lession learned. A classical credit card from a security standpoint is a pretty stupid thing.
  23. I use a Wise account and can generate myself up to 4 (?) virtual debit cards. I can activate, deactivate them immeditately as i like and also delete them and create a new ones. They are debit cards though, not credit cards. I use them mostly outside EUR-countries for online payments for 2 reasons: data of my regular credit card stolen a few times exchange rate much better When I pay with the physical card in a shop, i activate the card (1 button + fingerprint authentication on phone app) and as soon as the transaction shows up in the wise app I deactivate it again. I fill up the account via bank transfer from my bank account which is free and takes not more than a few minutes time until it shows up in the wise account (in EU). I only fill up to a limited amount for safety reasons. My regular credit card I mostly use in EUR with known big companies like Agoda, Amazon, some airlines (but not the Thai ones, bad experience). Since I like to have 70% of my holiday accomodation prepaid I don't even take it with me on holiday anymore. I only take the physical wise debit card, my bank debit card for atm transactions and a lot of cash. Unpleasant scenarios would be: stolen cash => still can get cash from atm stolen all cards => still have cash and virtual cards stolen phone => still have cash and bank atm card; for wise card need to login in browser; since my phone is 2nd factor for login it could be some trouble stolen everything (phone, cards, cash) => puh; ask friend to send money and hope this never happens
  24. She should have taken the opportunity and confess her love to you. I mean, how many times are you in foodland without the company of a man? Btw. being ill on holiday is a big mistake. I made that mistake myself a few times.
