I have yet to see actual evidence that they match passport numbers rather than names. Their announcement was about matching names. I mean the automatic matching they did. I don't doubt that you'll have to show the same (current) passport to both network provider and bank in case the automatic match failed and you have to visit them.

Indeed, they've been very busy promoting that they are back. I used to be a customer and just re-installed their app to have a look around - my original registration is still valid. I'll give them a try next week.

I guess that number is as good as any he could pull out of his behind.

Rebranding efforts? More like dishing out big fat brown envelopes!

What a laughable and ridiculous move, leaving aside that Cambodia won't extradite him to stand trial in Thailand anyway.

You'll need to check with each of your banks if they support "cross-border QR code payments" in Laos. Chances are that some will and others don't (yet). For example, in Vietnam I could already use my Bangkok Bank app for QR code payments, but not my Kasikorn Bank app.

What good would "Climate Fear" do me? I'll leave the panicking to the panic monkeys and Gretas of this world, as per usual.

With their silly flip-flopping they are ruining one of the very few industries that has shown some growth.

In this case the question is why your passport office didn't cancel your old passport when you picked up the new one. That's what they are supposed to do, unless you qualify for having multiple passports for special reasons.

Udon Thani and Nakhon Phanom, aren't those flights more like bargirl shuttles instead of bringing in tourists?

That's a ridiculous idea. Unenforceable, impractical, doomed to fail miserably. Maybe some people need to remember that Thailand used to have a very successful HIV prevention campaign. Revive that instead of coming up with comical nonsense.

With a short-haul flight, you cannot escape the miserable monsoon season weather, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that this isn't a popular time for regional tourism.

He's clearly having a laugh. How about the scam compounds nearby the Vietnamese border then, Vietnam's fault? And the ones in Sihanoukville and nearby Phnom Penh? Oops. The one country all these have in common is Cambodia.

Pretty much every single time I buy something at 7-11, they ask me if I'm a member. As I clearly look foreign, I can only assume that they have foreign members, otherwise why would they bother to ask? I use the TrueMoney wallet, so I already get "coins" for 7-11 purchases. With a ridiculously low monthly cap that I've typically maxxed out around the 5th of each month. That doesn't amount to a lot in actual baht and I just cannot be bothered to check if becoming a "member" gives me significantly more benefits. The owners of CP need the money a lot more than I do, in any case. 555

That's quite a spin. Rather than calculating how much less that is compared with Trump's 49% opening bid, it is still 36% MORE compared with the pre-Trump tariffs.
