I can list plenty of instances where I book a hotel on Agoda (English) and ask the missus to check on her phone in Thai - Her price invariably comes out cheaper and in some cases by quite a lot

We need Chuck Norris to sort out Putin. Does he know whats going on ? Has anyone told him ? CHUUUUUCCKK????

Data can be sent through a cable but the phone would have to be in the users posession also bank data is encrypted end to end so I really dont think this would work. Clicking on spam texts on the other hand...

Is it ?

Oooh. This should be good. **opens popcorn**

Like most of the population I suspect, I don't give a flying monkeys about Harry.

Got to fund the illegal war special military operation somehow

I really hope this go's into the flight ticket. I appreciate a lot of people use cards (some with hefty charges) and many bring cash with them but a lot of passengers arrive (including me) without baht (yes, I know the rules say you have to show funds). The queues for the ATM machines will be huge.

I suspect the "advice" was given by the Chinese....

Did the 4 island tour last Thursday with the wife and kid. Phew!!!

A 72 hour test before departure isn't simpler. It's a ballache. Once the Chinese are in, so are all their variants of covid.

Good spot. So complete BS then.

I would think most pay cash ? no ?

How do they know that they spent 100m baht? Did every street vendor declare every sale or was this figure a Thai "finger in the air" number

Or brake failure...

Better to be in Thailand than fighting Putins phoney war

Isn't Prayut up for election soon... Just saying...

Have you been to France recently ????

Well I didn't know yer honour. If we're talking about tax evasion, let's start with some of the blue chips/off shore millionaires. That's where the real money is.

IF there is good comeptition and no collusion behind the scenes. I mean banks are squeaky clean in Thailand, right ?

Haha. In my fuzzy world, I did not commit a crime. The labourer did. I just asked what the cash price is. What he does is up to him. Hopefully that would hold up in court ????

I have something to hide ???? I asked my local decorator to repaint the outside of my house (UK) and he quoted £400 which is the market rate for this area but he could do it for £330 cash. Now I know he isn't declaring this to the tax man but I'd much prefer to pay the lower amount. With a cashless society you are at the mercy of the banks. They can quite easily put up their transaction charges to the retailer which in turn will push up the cost of goods. I prefer cash, it's tangible, I know how much I have to spend because it's in my wallet rather than a number in my bank account.

I think we all know where he stands on morals!!

At my age, its just money ????

You said two things. I can only think of one ????
