What's  the matter with just using the PINK  one we can already get,they sure  like to dream up dumb ideas.

Umm, because that, or the 'expat card', would still mean dual pricing is on - just not for people with a card.

Not sure how much a bunch of Egyptians sitting around doing that would have helped.

It's fairly simple, if you think about it. Instead of paying up to 15 percent fee for having cash in your hand, you might begin to pay with the card; i.e. moving towards "cashless society", which various governments want us to do, both to save production of cash money, but mainly for better control of money flow and taxation...????

????

The only time it's 15% is if you withdraw exactly 100 baht.

Well 7/11 ( or more specifically my teenage daughters enthusiasm for shopping there for " things I need Daddy" ) is at times responsible for a cashless society in the "Herfiehandbag" household in the last few days of the month!

Translation: Didnt actually know what he was talking about, shot from the hip and is now covering up. 

Not a bad cover up story though. ????

Another money maker for 7-Eleven and a way to move us towards the cashless society.

So withdrawing cash from 7-11 is a move towards cashless society.

My brain is small. Please explain in detail.

6 foreigners turn up.

One fighter turns out to have covid.

Headline "Covid hotspot formed at boxing. No Thai nationals in audience"

Not sure that I would classify checking that bars are closed on time as a 'raid'.

Are standards slipping in the, all important, area of pointing?

She scores a 2/10.

Poor effort.

Someone better tell him that if he joins, hangs around long enough to get a passport, leaves and comes back here to live, he will be filling out US tax returns and sending money to Uncle Sam for the rest of his life.

Yes.

You can trade using a broker that has access to the particular market you want to play in.

The broker can be anywhere.

Check which markets they access (and their fees) before signing up.

Earbuds that translate 40 languages, including Thai.

Now I will know what those market ladies / bar girls / shopkeepers / anyone else is saying, without them knowing it's being translated directly into my ears. Win!

When staying at Jomtien Plaza Condo, pre-covid, I was told by a condo office worker that there was a restaurant being built on that lot.

Another reason not to live at JPC. Ongoing construction noise.

At the risk of being castigated, why not include expats?

If the purpose is to stimulate the tourism sector, doesn't our baht offer enough the same stimulation?

Should have run a spell check, for the local market.

Excellent place for sports.

Partakers can use their lungs to filter the exhaust from the traffic waiting at the lights.

What's your budget? Jomtien is cheap and attracts mostly pensioners who don't want to or can't afford to live in Pattaya but want to be close.

What a ridiculous statement.

Slight difference in infrastructure, don't you think? 

Yes, but surely Thailand's better infrastructure would lead to a better roof?

If they could make a roof like Fremont it would be a winner.

drain all that water from the roof to the sewers without causing a massive backwash

I just learned that having a roof causes more rain to fall.

China - just like the persistently upset neighbour that gets under everybody's skin. Perhaps a good long look in the mirror may be of assistance.

Poking many countries in the eye, bullying lots more, and using money to get small friends will not lead to China's 'best life'.

I hope they pay attention to this response. ????

Drivers license. Copy front and back, and hand them to the organisation that issued it.

Cert of Residency. Copy visa, entry stamp, TM6, old expired visa, and hand them to the organisation that issued them.

Pure logic.

The only thing wrong with this comment is the question mark.

Only vaccinating Thais is more than a little counterproductive.

Unless of course non-Thais cant spread covid to Thais......
