If the venue doesn't take QR payments, try to ask staff or owner and they are always willing to accept, in my experience. Cash is so 1990's.- Arrow up (goto top) is active
Thanks all for feedback, colour is easy to change, and position can be changed. Move it to right hand side is possible. Awaiting more feedback in this thread. Cheers- First-hand expat experiences living in Thailand during 1997 financial crash
July/August 1997. It was a crazy time indeed. It was in the month, or month before Lady Diana died, remember it like yesterday, and the exchange rates was astonishing around that time. That was the only thing that affected my wallet and also the interest on fixed deposits was a crazy ~15% per annum at that time.- Pattaya Airways Launches Air Cargo Operations with New Freighter
PATTAYA: -– Thailand's airline industry welcomes a new player as Pattaya Airways enters the air cargo market with its first ATR 72-500 freighter aircraft. The recent arrival marks a significant milestone for the airline, which aims to address the increasing demand for regional cargo services. With regulatory approval pending, Pattaya Airways expects to initiate flights in the fourth quarter of 2024. Strategic Acquisition The decision to acquire an ATR 72-500 freighter reflects Pattaya Airways' focus on short-haul regional routes. ATR 72 aircraft are known for their fuel efficiency and versatility, making them well-suited for the airline's intended operations. The first of two dry-leased ATR 72-500 freighters arrived in April 2024, with the second expected for delivery in May. "The introduction of our first dedicated cargo freighter signifies a major step for Pattaya Airways," said a company spokesperson. "We see a strong opportunity to contribute to Thailand's growing logistics sector by providing efficient and reliable air cargo solutions." Addressing Regional Demand Pattaya Airways aims to fill a gap in the regional air cargo market. Southeast Asia is experiencing significant economic growth, with a corresponding increase in demand for efficient cargo transportation. The airline plans to serve both domestic routes within Thailand and connections to neighboring countries. Positive Industry Outlook The air cargo industry is responding favorably to Pattaya Airways' entry into the market. Analysts note that a dedicated cargo airline with a focus on regional routes has the potential to streamline supply chains and enhance connectivity within Southeast Asia. This development aligns with increasing trade and e-commerce activities in the region. Growth Potential While Pattaya Airways starts with a modest fleet, the company has outlined its ambitions to grow over time. The airline's initial focus will be on establishing a strong foundation, securing customer confidence, and optimizing routes. As it gains experience, Pattaya Airways may consider expanding its fleet, adding new destinations, and potentially exploring long-haul cargo operations in the future. About Pattaya Airways Pattaya Airways is a privately-owned Thai cargo airline committed to providing reliable and efficient air cargo services within Thailand and the wider Southeast Asian region. The company anticipates receiving its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from Thai authorities later this year, paving the way for its launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. -- ASEAN NOW 2024-05-04- TrueMoney blocks foreign Credit/Debit cards from April 24, 2024

As mentioned above, I don't use cash anymore, haven't used it for approx 6 months or so. Most PromptPay these days, and card for online purchases, plus an excellent Revolut account.- TrueMoney blocks foreign Credit/Debit cards from April 24, 2024
Not nonsense. I'm not talking about using physical cards at 7-11 locations. I'm talking about using cards via the TrueMoney Wallet app, which from April 24, 2024 doesn't accept foreign credit or debit cards, please read my OP. I'm using the app mostly for 7-11 delivery.- British Tourist Warned Over Criticism of Thailand Online

I haven't used ATM's or cash for more than 6 months in Thailand. No need when there is cards and apps. I have now added a local debit card to True Money Wallet, so I'm good! 💵- TrueMoney blocks foreign Credit/Debit cards from April 24, 2024
Yes, via TueMoney app.- Payment QR Codes
Nothing, zero fee, if the vendor has PromptPay connected to a private bank account. I guess it could be a small fee for the vendor if it's a business bank account connected.- TrueMoney blocks foreign Credit/Debit cards from April 24, 2024
