CharlieH Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Been like it for auite awhile. They should move the whole thing to an online/ app and that would put an end to ALL of the shinnanigans. They are even varying by nu ber now too, grouping certain numbers into 80 /90/100/120 bt then 2/4sets of same and so on. Ridiculous for what is supposed to be fixed 80bt per ticket. Shoukd try paying them with a 100bt note and asking more for it, even though its printed 100bt on it ! ???? see how they like it...555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Moonlover Posted February 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Lottery tickets here in Thailand are like any other commodity. If the punters are prepared to pay the price, that's the price they'll sell them at. I have read the suggestion from @CharlieHabout moving the sales to an online system several times on the forum, but no one has suggested an adequate way of supporting the many thousands of disabled persons, for whom this is their only opportunity to make an income. It is also obvious that calls to the government to address the issue are futile. Their attempts are, at best, temporary. From my own point of view, my attitude is this. If you're not prepared to pay the price, don't buy. But do remember that you are undoubtedly much better off than those selling the tickets. Perhaps you should stop being so mealy mouthed about it.

2long Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The vendors decide which numbers are likely to be chosen (by buyers and the machine that draws them) and the prices are set accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could even have a digital link for a disabled person outside to sell them on line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilsst what you say may well be relevant in your area and indeed some others, here the majority of sellers are under 40 and NONE have any visible disabilities. In fact in 3 locations that come to mind thry are women under 30 playing on their iphones usually, and you can pay them without CASH ! As for paying the price, its clearly printed 80bht and inflating it is wrong in my opinion, or would you be quite happy to pay 120bht for 100bht note gto get 20% less cash at the bbak because the clerk was disabled , Same propincipal.

Farmerslife Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 It is not the vendor that you buy your ticket from that benefits from the overpricing. These people work a wealthy individual or company who pay them 300 baht a day. It is their employer that fixes the price and collects all the income.

Does a disability have to be visible before it's believable? I think that's a very narrow minded view. Disabilities can also include mental issues, dexterity issues, sensual issues as well as the more detectible and recognizable mobility issues.
