'Pioneering'?
E-visa has been in operation for many countries for several years.
Reminds me of the 65 year old auntie in my extended Thai family. She's never been more than 300 km away from her birth town of Roi Et. Never been to Bkk, Pattaya, Phuket.
She never stops telling everybody that Thailand leads the world in everything. She claims that other countries are not allowed to have tourists and she tries to push her idea that every foreigner should pay 100,000Baht for a document to enter Thailand for 1 week. And should pay double price for everything.
She has no cards other than her Thai ID card and driving licenses for car and m.cycle. She claims that all computers are fake.
