You did NOT used PromptPay QR at 7-Eleven today. They don't accept PromptPay QR.

Sorry George,

You were right.

Wife just set me straight on True Wallet for 7/11.

Really doesn't help Chiang Mai's problem as you say, sat in a natural bowl as she is. The air would be crap at this time of year if you went back to Mangrai's time, or indeed no human activity altogether, but chuck in all that local burning, the thousands upon thousands of crappy sawngthaew/tuk-tuk motors and ridiculous amount of traffic in general--plus the millions of tons worth of badly burned air coming over from Burma--and you have a recipe for disaster. Been going on for decades, but particularly noticeable now due to especially excessive heat. 

It's definitely not getting better with time.

I really enjoy Chiang Mai for short visits with the family when the air is better.

Great food,shopping,nightlife,hotels,etc.

I'm in Issan, and it can be really bad or worse than Chiang Mai.

It's part and parcel of living in Asia.

Can you talk us through what you did at 7 Eleven to scan using your bank app?

 

no one else has ever done it before, only using truemoneywallet works

My wife just corrected me. 

TrueWallet only at 7/11.

Wife said I have to sign up at a True Shop.

It is not a language/understanding problem!  They do not use them!

Who said anything about using public machines! I said a laundry and meant a proper  family run laundry who do it all for you!

Well millions of Thais and falangs use there QR scanners

 to pay for items at 7/11 and forward thinking laundromats everyday.

Are you sure your in Thailand?

Your best bet is get a friend or 7/11  staffer to assist you.  

Perhaps True Wallet is attached to all banking apps?

Good luck!

Not really. Rather, it seems the TDS brigade gets worked up so often, they can't help but spew all the usual, tiresome tropes. Liar, conman, rapist.... it gets old after a while. At least get some new material.

Don't self-stimulate yourself into a frenzy assuming that people who disagree with you are as shallow as you are yourself.  I didn't mention Trump at all, yet he seems to be all that dominates your thinking. Why spend so much time hating someone, it must be terrible for your blood pressure. May I suggest a hobby, perhaps?

Trumpets, always crying and whining about how there victimized.

It's getting old!

I just use my Bangkok Bank app.  It's got a QR scanner button.  It takes seconds.

If you have a Thai bank account you can do the same.

7-11 also has its dedicated app in which you can add any bank card to use the QR code function.

Why don't you just ask your bank or 7-11 staffer to get it sorted out.   My wife showed me how just last month.  Before then I was as clueless as you.

Ah yes. The infamous 'survey' that rated Obama above Reagan and Clinton. Ranked Biden above Reagan even.  Great source of information, that

"These surveys collect presidential rankings from historians, political scientists, and presidential scholars in a range of attributes, abilities, and accomplishments."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States#:~:text=Most surveys of the early,up to the Civil War.

Don't get all your info from Faux new and the "Pillow guy".

He's a complete fraud, as proven in numerous court cases.  He's got you fooled.

You can NOT pay with QR PromptPay at 7/11. They want you to use True Money Wallet, or domestic credit card over 200 baht only.

I just used it there 15 minutes ago.

Trump doesn't need a campaign. He's on the news every night in his court cases. With 90 to go he's never going to be off the news. The MSM are his campaign.

He has his past record to go on, while Biden has the present border fiasco, inflation, rebellion by Ivy League university students and a couple of wars in which he is neck deep.

Short of Trump doing something really crazy, Biden is in trouble.

Oh please, get out of the lunatic "Trumpers" cult.

Yes, but this topic is about 7-11.  You go and try it there and see.

All 7-11's have that option to scan you're bank app from your phone.  They'll be happy to help you.

They are not "available everywhere"!  They may be readily available but not everywhere! 

Just three doors down from where I am sitting in CM (a main road in the city) the shop owners don't even know what a QR code is never mind use them!  My laundry does not use them either!

Perhaps they don't understand you?

Regarding laundry, maybe it's time you "manned" up and bought a laundry machine.  The public machines are filthy!

There isn't much room to expand the airport.

When it's open its a nice flight from Udon Thani.

Hard work!

Phetchaburi's cultural heritage, delicious cuisine, arts, and vibrant local traditions."

Not many tourists come for that.  

Beaches,girls,nightlife, good food.

That's what 99% of tourists want.

Local traditions,culture,and temples gets boring fast.

All Thai bank apps have a scan feature.

Just scan the merchants QR code and enter the amount.

It's available everywhere,even tiny little village markets in rural areas.  QR codes are posted to scan for each particular merchant.

I guess it's better than <deleted>ty pot and getting a headache.

Either way, get the conservatives out of politics.  It's the only way Thailand will move beyond the stone age.

I bought a new Trump baseball hat. Have been wearing it around Pats. Many folk are looking at me with different expressions. 

 

Actually I think the guy is hideous and its a complete piss take me wearing it. 

 

What are your thoughts on the guy. Any residents actually think this guy is solid?

 

If you see me please say hello. I'm similar to Bob. Have no friends. 

 

 

 

I doubt many people know or care.

Much more on theatre in Pattaya than orange turds.

Follow the money! Always a sure fire way of finding out what is going on. I expect that there is some sort of financial incentive for the criminally convicted former fugitive parolee Taksin conducting this excursion to meet the Burmese resistance. He aint doing it for the good of either country. Only to line his, or his buddies, pockets. Maybe, just maybe, to solidify some sort of future power, but money is the best guess. Ka-ching!

 

Myanmar's strategic location, vast minerals, and natural gas deposits make it an obvious choice.

Russia and China have been buddying up with the Junta since they over-threw the elected government.

Thailand just goes wherever the the winds blow.
