  1. Mastercard/Visa Debit card works fine with Netflix. Or buy the cards at 7-11, it's the same price either way. Since Bangkok Bank blocked all international transactions after all those people lost money, I had to buy a Netflix e-gift card on amazon and renew my membership using a VPN which cost me a few bucks more than it does in Thailand but I rarely go to 7-11 and didn't want to make a special trip just for that.
  2. Just think of it as units as the other person said and not kwh. Always check the meter yourself and take your own photos, it's a little strange the first picture is so blurry and the second is crystal clear. If the person renting to you rents more than 5 units, it's illegal to charge more than the government rate but who is gonna fight that over 700 baht.
  3. If you're talking about the one I'm thinking about, he was on the tourist police as well and owned PattayaOne news. You can see him in a few eps of that show Big Trouble in Tourist Thailand which didn't last for obvious reasons.
  4. Not even that, unfortunately.
  5. Definitely not true. Probably will need a PCR test taken within 72 hours to get on the flight though along with his vaccination certificate.
  6. Pattaya was the 15th most visited city in the WORLD in 2019: https://thepattayanews.com/2019/09/08/pattaya-is-the-fifteenth-most-visited-city-in-the-world-bangkok-remains-number-one/ https://newsroom.mastercard.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/GDCI-Global-Report-FINAL-1.pdf
  7. I would just upload the 2. They're not gonna test your blood and deny you entry because you're too protected.
  8. Was just a suggestion because I know the ones in Bangkok for 5-6k include the one (or two depending on your time of arrival) night, test and pickup from the airport etc... As we know, these things tend to not always be ready and running smoothly right on the first day. Always best to wait at least a week or two after the launch if you have that option.
  9. The test is included in the prepaid AQ/SHA+ one night package, maybe that's what is confusing you?
  10. Don't get too excited ????, apparently might be an option again in a few months, especially if their "no quarantine" reopening is a failure. There's always "legal" options for people under 50 who have the money and want to stay without getting married. Agents won't be going hungry.
  11. All agents saying volunteer visa is no longer an option as of now.
  12. Definitely suspicious. I would contact your bank and get a new card if you don't have a PayPal or did nothing at all that would initiate this kind of transaction.
  13. Morchana is for them track your movements as a requirement for vaccinated and sandbox tourists not doing ASQ.
  14. My mistake. It seems like they have taken down the Morchana Android link or it's not accessible within Thailand. https://www.dga.or.th/document-sharing/dga-news/18386/

  16. Cashless is the best, especially in Thailand where you have to worry about getting the correct change back when paying with big bills in tourist cities. I just hold my debit card over the reader, the cashier doesn't need to touch or see my card, get my receipt and much quicker than cash in my experience.
  17. The face recognition thing is weird, must be new. The car not moving thing is the Grab version of a taxi driver asking you where you are going before you get in, they make you wait without intending to pick you up, hoping that you'll cancel if they feel the trip isn't worth it for them. By you cancelling instead of them, it doesn't reflect badly on them but I report it anyway because they are intentionally wasting our time.
  18. I believe the reason is the recent debacle where many people had close to 100+ transactions of 34.15 baht taken out of their accounts by some overseas mobile gaming app company so I'm assuming they've just decided to disable all transactions. It sucks because I can't even renew my Netflix Thailand subscription with my debit card anymore even though it's charged in baht.
