You never buy anything online ? Do you ever use a credit card ? If you say yes to either of those your already in the databases. No, never use a credit card in Thailand after someone in the shop took down the number and sold it. They spent £10,000. Got it back as I could prove I was in a different country at the time. No, I never buy anything online. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only data attached to the transaction is the vendor name, time and the total amount paid. Just had a look online and it seems the biggest pitfall of electronic payments is identity theft. Cash = speed, safety, no ads and anonymity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never use credit cards, have never bought anything online in my life, and don't own a smartphone...never felt the need to and have never regretted it. I never use CC / DC in person here (TH), and rarely online. Do most of my non-essential shopping online, as simply cheaper, but 99% COD. Have a smartphone for camera & GPS / Gmap (out & abouts), and rarely use as a phone. Most use in store, to find wife ???? Use only the bare necessity of apps, and usually for my toys (drones now), and for BMS in e-scooter & solar when available. Never used phone at pay point, and don't plan to, as too much hassle for me. Cash check out is easy, and it's all (check out), time wise, is on the customer. Yea, open your wallet / purse / phone, and actually be ready to pay, whether cash or alternate means. It can take less than 1 minute, or 3 depending how inconsiderate you are to the people waiting behind you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteBuffaloATM Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 carry only the cash you need for the day. someone mugs you. just hand it over. if you have NO cash the robber will likely become angry enough to beat you ! my pet hate is at the cinema or coffee shop when people take forever to pay 240 baht or 45 baht electronically. I just drop my basket and walk out of grocery stores after loudly requesting more cashiers if stupid delays inc. unprepared dithering shoppers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a special place reserved in H3ll for the person that thought putting a camera in a cell phone was a good idea. Total narcissism now has the approval of society-at-large.

Saanim Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 What is annoying at cash paying: they handing out the printed receipt together with the returning banknotes and coins, all in one hand. These are things I need to keep at 3 separate places, with my 2 hands sometimes not so easy. All the same everywhere without exception. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohyesuare Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Cashless is the best, especially in Thailand where you have to worry about getting the correct change back when paying with big bills in tourist cities. I just hold my debit card over the reader, the cashier doesn't need to touch or see my card, get my receipt and much quicker than cash in my experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsxrnz Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 You should have seen the look on the face of the Tesco cashier about 10 years ago when I first tried to "tap and go".

Don't even have to make people check in every day, as they willingly pay for devices that will track them 24/7 and tell advertisers everything about their life. You have a point there, but then you cannot use a smartphone as well or a credit card. You can disable the GPS or diable the internetconnection and only use the watch to pay if that is your concern.
