I think they were telling porkies. No shop in the Kingdom would accept payment if they lost 5% on it. I think the restaurant in question perhaps doesn't want to show the true volume of funds going through their business, for whatever reasons...

Which paints an even more bleak picture - that even Makro(CP!) is held by the scrotum by the banks.

MASSIVE! You know what I mean though, in many other modern countries payment is made so simple, I mean, even HERE, with the ability to use QR payments almost everywhere, even the smallest stall-holder accepts instant transferred payments, but Makro? nope. 'We only accept cards from the banks whom we bank with', nobs.

Makro irritates me, they only accept credit cards from certain banks, it's so arrogant. Just accept all cards, it'll hardly eat into your profits, you're billionaires for eternal lifetimes!

That they are not.

Thanks for the replies, but you all mention the things I said in the OP that I don't want to use - Truemoney Wallet, 7eleven app etc. And I'm not talking about QR payments - I use them for almost everything else. I'm asking about over the counter places such as 7eleven, Central etc, as I said in my OP. It is, as I've had the same response too.

We recently cancelled our Krungsri credit card as it was costing us money to use our own money, which is totally nuts, and another story entirely. But my question here is what other payment methods are there available to use over the counter? I know 7eleven has it's own payment sustem but I'd prefer to use my own card to pay from, as opposed to loading money onto an irreversible payment service. We use Krungsri & TTB, but I mainly use Krungsri, so would love to know if a basic Visa debit card from Krunsgri can be used to pay with over the counter? I haven't had a debit card for years, I lost my Krungsri card and never bothered replacing it as I used cardless withdrawals but they're not always convenient, and if I'm somewhere without cash it can be a pain in the back side finding a Krungsri ATM to use 'cardless'.

'show that Thailand has a safe and sustainable environment for foreign tourists.' Pretend, surely? Not show, as that would be dishonest... Honestly, it's like a playground full of 12 year olds.

Mostly muck too, plus some future stomach ache prawns.

I'd like to know this too, my wife has difficulty sleeping, amongst other things, and I want her to give oil a go, anybody here have a similar situation?

"The reason that prices need to be raised is connected to the four noble truths of Buddhism," he ranted incoherently. What an <deleted>. I know there are some devout Buddhists in Thailand, but most people use it just to gain something.. Oh, hang on...

It always was just a dream. If the job was to be undertaken it would be like painting the Forth bridge(in the past, by the time they finished painting the bridge they'd have to start painting it again). So maybe we should be thankful that this cash cow has now been eliminated. Being realistic, none of us alive now would have seen the end of the removal of cables from Bangkok streets.

As it stands, it's 16-2 against the government buying the jets, seems about right.

Another questing worth asking: If you were in line for a huge 'big face' demonstration, along with lots and lots of money in your secret bank account, would you make sure the deal got as close to the final stages of agreement as possible?

Who knows? Poll is here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1268579-should-the-thai-govt-buy-f-35-jets-from-the-us/

It's none of our business, but should the Thai govt. buy F-35 jets from the US?

If every normal adult person in the country was asked if they want or need these jets, the answer would be 'No'.

It's nothing serious, just a basic comparison about which one makes me feel better, and for better or worse value.

Received my 5g of Phu Phan Squirrel Tail, aka Brick Weed today - B150 for 5g with free delivery. I just had a little pipe - and I mean little, maybe 4mm diameter bud - and it's absolutely fine, done the job nicely, I'm buzzing, but not wasted, just how I like it, think I'll tidy up now! ???? Awaiting my tester from Greenlabs now, 1g of Thai stick for B79 + B60 shipping. It'll be interesting to see how the two compare, I'll report back when I receive & test.

I was, but I don't think I'll ask again, not at those prices! Crikey, I think I'll press on with me cheap weed thank you very much! ???? Actually, I just saw that this resin is an Indica variant, which just disables me, the cheap weed seems to be more of the Sativa variant, which gets the house cleaned much faster and better ????

My problem is the opposite, there's too many sellers, I'm sure lots of them are scammers, so I'm more interested in a reliable and trustworthy source.

Please DM me the sellers' info.

Did you get this from the Facebook page you linked to above^?

Correct. I enjoyed the ride though ????

I'm about to shoot it to Big C, Nakhon Pathom to see if they've got Greenlab's 'Thai Stick', what are my chances?
