If you are using a foreign Credit or Debit card in your TrueMoney Wallet account, you may have noticed that TrueMoney suddenly has blocked connecting foreign cards since April 24, 2024. TrueMoney Wallet phone support says today that only Thailand issued cards can be connected to the True Money Wallet account. I have used a foreign card for years without problem until recently. My best guess: A new regulation from Revenue Department or maybe Bank of Thailand to stop foreigners using international cards due to tax issues or money laundry concerns. To shop in 7-Eleven stores or delivery is getting more and more difficult. Cash only preferred, it seems, especially for foreigners. 😡 What do you think? Source: Myself 2024-04-30

No, we have to write a plugin this week for that purpose. Now its possible to use plugins again.

Yes, but we was on a low budget hosting that was very slow, not enough resources.

Now we can install plugins, as we have good server. Up arrow coming this week.

We have upgraded to a very powerful cloud server. Thanks for your kind words! ❤️

We will continue maintenance at some point tomorrow, as it’s late and datacenter guys does not work overtime.

Yes, it was a Google search core update, now finalized: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-march-2024-core-update-officially-completed-a-week-ago/514919/

22 years of data = ~300GB MySQL database, ~350GB user pics etc. Moving from Canada to Singapore. Slow internet due to underwater cable issues. Professional people doing this migration, don't worry. No, unfortunately part of database can't be moved as forum software is very special, impossible to set to read-only, and we can't risk losing any data. A necessary database maintenance is also being done while migrating. This very time consuming indeed (mysql dump + transfer of db plus import of MySQL dump into new server database with 4x better prestanda. We are doing this process during low traffic (weekend). No other way to do this. After move it could be a bumpy ride for a day or so as we optimize database and fix any software issues. It's not only to "copy things over" I can assure you...

Yes, forum will be down today/this evening as well, to do part 2 of the maintenance. It's a huge forum database that must be moved and it will take hours, and database must be offline when work is in progress.

Good idea! Let me check if ASEAN NOW members can get a free trial or similar. I'll talk with Google Bangkok office. Start with the free version, you will love it!

FORUM MONTHLY MAINTENANCE NOTICE: Update: We have moved maintenance to Sunday April 28, exact time will be updated on our Facebook Page: ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/ASEANNOWThailand/ --- Forum will be down Sunday April 27, 2024 in a 6 hour window in afternoon/evening until 2am (Bangkok time GMT+7). These times could change as we go, or be longer or shorter, without warning. ASEAN NOW's web traffic is increasing month by month, and we must add 4 times more resources to our cloud hosting and migrate it to Singapore for better user experience and latency. We will also perform our planned monthly forum database maintenance. The whole maintenance work will take about approx 6-8 hours. Forum will be down most of the time. We will update the progress on our Facebook page: ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/ASEANNOWThailand/ Please follow us there! The result will be faster page load, faster posting and less latency.

I doubt 7-eleven accept Google Wallet. And vendors who accept Mastercard also accept VISA cards, as it's included in their banks merchant account.

Most vendors at markets have mobile phones and will happily take PromptPay (QR payments).

and Apple and Google doesn’t like each others when it comes to wallets and payments 😎
