Smart Card

Featured Replies

Any one knows the latest about the smart card, even farang can get one?

Looks like you are the only one who even knows what a smart card is :)

I'm not smart enough to get one!

Not sure about the Smart Card but I do have a VIP Card for Tops at the Central Plaza. It allows me to park my Porche right next to the entrance. Anyone else have one ?

I usually park with the tuktuks on the highway, saves having to carry another ********* card.

Get a Robinson's Visa card but interestingly you have to be less than 60 to apply. Strange but true.

OK I bite. What is a smart card? I know what it is in the US (chip embedded CC) but Thailand???

I have their discount card, it covers Tops as well.

The smart card here in Thailand was invented for all people to get all the public services including health care etc. One could show it instead of the ID card. As far as I know now too many people, most from Myanmar, abused the card. So the card is discontinued.

Cant be discontinued if being used by some of our respectable CR-Forum MEMBERS :D

I think I know what you mean, there was some discussion on ThaiVisa a couple of years back.

Did the privileges include residency?

I seem to recall it was expensive and no one wanted any part of it.

A card that would entitle all users to get services including medical for free?

Oh yes, of course that would be available to farangs. I am surprised you even needed to ask :)
