bkk6060 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 What madness? Seems like a nice convenience to me. But, even if one is somewhat computer illiterate these bills can be paid online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkroo Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Just came back from my local small Lotus store and payed my TOT bill with no Thai ID being asked for ? although I had my wifes ID already in my pocket, the cashier girl scanned the bill and then needed to hit the override button several times to insert the amount to accept payment and never mentioned a word ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Andrew Dwyer Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 Nipped down to the local 7-11 to pay my water and electricity bill as always, stood in line I remembered another recent thread about passport required for paying bills now and wondered if I would be asked ? But no , business as usual . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontang Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I use my US credit card and pay MEA through their App. 5 THB service charge, but I get one percent back for using the CC, and exchange rates better than TT. Also paid TRUE with the same cc, and True App...no service fee on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Boon Mee Posted February 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2020 Just paid my electric bill at the local PEA office. No hassle. NO DL or Pink Card ???? or Yellow Book asked for. Just give us the cash Mr. Farang. ???? 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Just paid my home loan at SCB bank. There's a notice at the bank tellers desk, Thai ID or passport required. They didn't ask for my Thai ID or passport, I guess they were just happy to get the repayment. Dunno about 7-11 and Tesco, since I've got the BKB phone app, I save 30bht and use it to pay all other bills FoC.

For some people the "local" office perhaps is not so local (as in near). 7/11 works fine without any ID though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTH001 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Agree, complete madness, after some discussions at Mini Big C, they accepted my Thai Drivers License. No questions at Tesco Lotus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Triangle Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I have internet banking and can arrange to pay that way if I so desire, the PWA & PEA, are on the other side of town, it's so much easier to go to 7/11, Tesco express, Mini Big C etc, should I decide to move from my rented house the last thing I need is to have to go to the bank to cancel standing orders and other Papp, why in the world do they need to have ID to pay a chuffing bill, China comes to Thailand in more ways than one.

Bangkok Barry Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I have internet banking, but haven't so far used it to make payments. I want to now, but need to update my phone number to receive the time-limited security code number. You would think that, after logging in securely to my account, I could do that on-line. Nope! I have to get a pdf form and physically take it into my bank. I think they misunderstand the concept of on-line banking.
