Give that man a medal for calling out the digital wallet snout in the trough circus.

Well, he'd rather the handout were in cash. He's not opposing the scheme. He's opposing the fact that it is not generous enough. Maybe another opponent will demand the handout be in gold? Or in USD?

Claiming that the scheme will cause extensive damage to the economy, Dr Warong questions why the government does not provide the Bt10,000 benefit in the form of cash, instead of digital tokens, which is too complicated for the people in general and will not benefit small retail outlets because they normally do not have significant cash reserves and they prefer payment in cash.

Cash is King, nudge nudge, wink wink! 💰:thumbsup:

because he knows they will never give cash... too untraceable

wrong... it is because the scheme is made so that you can only use the digital cash within a certain number of Km from your residence.

 check again. seems now people will be able to use it in the regions they live in and not within a certain distance. were it within a certain distance, i would totally agree with you. we live 8 km from the nearest tesco or halfway decent shop. seems they realised the error of their ways

There are so many ways that tis scheme can fail, or be subverted, I cannot believe hat these were not thought through first.  Big traders with adequate cash flow will be able to convert the digital money to cash at a cost, an d they will profit.  Jus what Srettha and his cronies planned in the first place.   it is not buying popularity it is being paid to get popularity.

Jus look into who owns the digital wallet company, which will be worth hundreds of Billions, by the time the digital wallet scheme have ended.

Hub of crackpot ideas. 500+ billion for the digital wallet. More than 1 trillion for the land bridge. 20 baht fare for Purple and Red lines, assuring they'll need to short cut maintenance.

You have details of the digital wallet and land bridge to enable you to declare they are crackpot ideas. It’s ok if you say it’s just your own assumption.
