Just read that China has arranged for Russian banks to join the UnionPay processing system...never one to let an opportunity slip away....they have been trying for years to compete with Visa/MC and at least for Russians, it looks like they will be getting new UnionPay cards

Visa and Mastercard have already announced that their cards issued in Russia will no longer work, so I'd guess they won't be accepted anywhere anymore. Not limited to Phuket and Krabi.

Exactly - the merchant runs the card, and the charge is either accepted or rejected. No one has to make a policy about which nationalities can use which payment methods in which localities.

Seems like a wave of robberies on gold shops across LOS committed by masked foreigners with a strange accent is imminent

If they are big guys and barge everybody out of the queue like they do in 7/11s it might be a bit of a giveaway!.....Niet???? :thumbsup:

Putin started out wanting $20-30M for his retirement pot, it didn’t take long for him to want to be the richest person in Russia then the World.

 

He can’t spend it anywhere except Russia and is at risk of losing everything if he loses power - which is what must happen now to restore peace and dignity to the Russian people.
