How do you pay?

[Crossy]

Promptpay at the bottle shop and builder's merchant (and to our building contractor).

 

Truemoney at Lotus and Seven.

 

Local credit card at Makro, Homepro etc. etc.

 

Cash for the maid and gardener.

 

[KhunLA]

Me ... cash only

Wife ... cash & transfer (bank app), no 3rd party apps

 

@ EV CS ... via app wallet, or CC, and bank transfer

depending on vendor, some one pay type, some all

[JonnyF]

I use cash when I'm out and about (pubs, bars, 711 etc.)

 

Banking app for condo fees, electricity bill, phone bill.

 

Credit card for internet purchases.

 

No way they can get rid of cash here. With the sex industry, corruption, tax evasion etc. there is no way the authorities would do it, since they benefit the most from the aforementioned things being off the radar.

What the f-k is wrong with you? Why would I have 10k baht in wallet for ladyboys of other sexual services? Are you basing that on your own preferences?

I was thinking, when you are out and maybe meet friends, and wish to go eat together, or goes in to a shop and see something you like to have in home. You know, what I think. If you really slow down you sexual frustration, and overflow of testosterones. Just maybe, you can also see outside the sex-tourists eyes. Or, just maybe, you are incapable of that. Anyway, I feel sorry for you, that such a comment was the first that hit your main frame.

WOW, so triggered. Well, that confirms what bob smith told me. Not surprised actually.

[BritManToo]

Mostly bank app as my wife (or son) take any money they find in my wallet.

 

Easier to say I don't have any rather than say no.

Can you please explain what you are doing? Are you jerking off at the same time, and it´s your way to get satisfied? First you are accusing me of walking with 10k baht in pocket for my need to have threesome with LB´s. When you get a reaction out of that, post something silly as above.

Just go check your mental health.

It's very kind of you to offer me to join your tranny-trio, but it's not really my thing. What was it that Bob used to call you by? Was it Gayfiddle?

as does the punter.

[Kinnock]

Bank App on phone most times (and more now 7-11 will accept it) but still tip in cash at restaurants.

[MarcelV]

I pay for just about anything using the seller's QR code.

At 7/11 I use True Money wallet, and for small items like a bottle of water I carry some coins.

My foreign cc only for car rental, and my Thai dc for many online items. Money for my gf I transfer using the bank app.

[johng]

Cash at if at all possible say no to CBD's (panopticon prison) at every opportunity and continue to use cash  your freedom literately depends upon it.

Gay for pay is ok Gayfiddler, but you will need more than 10K Baht if you want me to join your tranny-trio. Sorry, no QR code payment accepted. Cash only.

You have vivid fantasies. Maybe even hallucinations, but please don´t include me in your world.

No reason why they can't have a QR code tattooed on their arses.

That would be the first useful tattoo in bargirl history.

While the benefit of cashless is it is more difficult to practice corruption.....the problem with Thailand going cashless, is that to prosecute corruption you need a will in the police, the government and the judiciary. That will does not exist. It is like Prawit's watches. All financial transactions could be monitored, but those of higher classes and politicians, army generals with garages of imported cars and police generals who are suspiciously wealthy, with never get looked at. So on balance I think digital currency is a loser for most people. I'm old and don't want new money that can only be used on beta-testing hard and software. I'd like Thailand to be the last country on earth to go to digital currency. 

[Ludzilla]

Cash only, i'm against mass surveillance and data collection. The day we will go cashless we'll lose control of the value of our assets

[harryviking]

I can mention that my country, Norway, just made it the law for any business to accept cash. If they do not, they will be punished with a rather high fine! This is for safety in case of an attack on the internet or other terror attacks. Imagine what will happen if the internet went off line for weeks or more! Total chaos and collapse of societies! The cash less BS is a danger to us all and just for politicians to take full control of every person in the land!! They are playing with fire! Wake up!! Always keep some cash  somewhere if you can. Also keep at least 1 week of provisions in your house. The world at the moment is NOT very stable. 

[patman30]

Cash always

Saw an article saying Thailand could be cashless by 2028. Don't believe this will happen so soon, but just interested in knowing how most people here pay for things nowadays. Shopping, taxis, apartment etc. Do you use debit cards, Promptpay etc? I personally still believe cash is king and we should always have options. 

Why not put up the article for all to see?
