Why did you only quote the 1st paragraph of my post? I went on to say, in the same post:

Because that was the sentence that I was responding to.

Now you know why 7/11 is pushing the True wallet so much and even going so far as to not allowing local debit cards.

They have never allowed the use of any debit cards.

Hi George, Can I just download this app on my phone? Is it easy to use/top up?

Yes, and yes/yes.  There's a bit of registering to do though, but if I can do it unassisted, anyone can.

How do you pay at 7-Eleven if you don't have cash and no TrueMoney app?

 

Revolut is great. 

Since when has 7-11 accepted payment through a Revolut debit card when 7-11s do not accept debit cards?

The main stumbling block that us foreigners encounter when applying are the questions regarding employment. Fine if you are employed but what about those of us who are retired? That's where I and apparently many others got stuck.

Employment is not a requirement to register with TrueMoney!

I think when I set mine up I had to contact them by phone as my application didn't get any attention for days.

Not required now.

Oh another thing about TrueMoney Wallet - if the Long-term Visa or Work Permit date expires from when you set it up, they instantly lock you out of your account and you have to upload new evidence again (renewal of Work Permit etc).

Nonsense.

TruMoney was nearly impossible to set up as a foreigner anyway. I gave up years ago. 

 

I think it's fine as long as you have evidence of Long-Term Visa or Work Permit.

Visas are not checked for foreigners registering with TrueMoney, neither is a work permit a requirement!

Cash only preferred,

That is my choice!

I will not use a "No Cash" outlet!

7-11s do accept cash!

Why would anyone go shopping at a 7-11 if they had no cash or other means to pay?

What is the benefit of truemoney? I don't see one.

Paying without using cash, obviously...convenience.

TrueMoney is now straight forward for foreigners.

To shop in 7-Eleven stores or delivery is getting more and more difficult. Cash only preferred, it seems, especially for foreigners.

Cannot agree with that, at all.  Those who live here, presumably, have a local bank account that can top-up TrueMoney, those who do not, probably do not have a TrueMoney app.   What else is making purchases from 7-11 "more and more difficult"?

If he keeps your deposit ask him if hes going to pay tax on that.

Why should he say something so ridiculous?  How could that possibly affect the situation?

Where was it shown that the driver accepted B100 as the fare? It looked as though he was wanting the full agreed amount to be paid. 

In the few seconds of video that was shown, the driver (with the passengers hands around his throat and being slapped) didn't have much a chance to show it.

 

It says he paid it. 

Yes, it says that he paid it (to the driver, obviously), it does not say that the driver accepted B100 as enough for the, apparently agreed, fare of B400.

The last sentence did not report the father as saying that his son had done anything of the sort in the past. 

OK, the next to last sentence.  Or last paragraph.

Nothing in the entire article states that his son (the driver) "had done anything like this in the past"...unless you can quote it from the OP.

My computer appears to be almost identical to that picture.

You're seriously saying that the video begins with the driver waiting to be paid? 

No, that is not what I posted.

The claim is in the article.

There is no claim that the driver "accepted the B100" (i.e. agreed that B100 was ok) in payment for the fare, just that the passenger gave that to him.

Easy when the request comes from a Phuket tuk-tuk driver, not from the police.

Colonel Khundet Na Nongkhai, Karon Police Chief, reported to the Phuket Express on Tuesday (April 30th) that Mr. Luke was apprehended at a hotel on Phi Phi Island by Koh Phi Phi and Karbi Tourist police.

 

The arrest was made following an arrest warrant issued by Phuket Kwaeng Court on charges of causing physical and mental harm to another individual.

 

The accused was moved to the Karon Police Station in Phuket. Colonel Khundet disclosed that Mr. Luke had neither made a statement nor entered a plea by press time, and declined to speak to the media.

What's all that got to do with my response to someone wrongly posting, originally, that he declined a police request for a meeting when it was the driver and his father who asked him to attend the police meeting?  Your quote above relates to when he was arrested following the warrant being issued after he'd done a runner from his hotel.

Thanks for misquoting me, for whatever reason you chose.

Mine was a QUESTION saying 'IS IT possible that that the driver saw that the Brit was drunk and possibly new to Thailand, and scammed him?'

My apologies for misreading your comment.

File photo for reference only... Here we go again. 

What's the problem with that?

Why would the driver accept 100 Baht for a 400 Baht fair? Why not show that section of the video? Why not show the Brit the money he paid with?

 

Fairly obvious why... 🙄

Where was it shown that the driver accepted B100 as the fare? It looked as though he was wanting the full agreed amount to be paid. 

In the few seconds of video that was shown, the driver (with the passengers hands around his throat and being slapped) didn't have much a chance to show it.

Some countries have laws that make it illegal to refuse to accept payment with banknotes and coins that are legal tender in the respective countries. Has Thailand no such law?

Which countries have laws that make it illegal for traders to have policies that they will only accept digital payments and not cash for their goods or services?
