2 Japanese AV stars to meet Bangkok fans this September
This will give the RTP a chance to video all the people who go there so they can track who has been watching porn illegally in Thailand haha... How can they be famous here if porn is illegal and blocked by the government? Seems 2 faced for Thailand to allow them to promote watching their 5100 videos screwing other men and women. I guess their stint in Pop music failed miserably since they decided to go naked in camera instead. -

Man’s Highway Photo-Shoot Sparks Legal Controversy in Thailand
Seems to be the lack of critical thinking. Got there by car during periods road has been open to the public. But I can understand the confusion: no hanging roadside wires, no potholes, no crashed vehicles and dead bodies in the road. However, the lack of police presence would be noncritical. -

Thailand Post Ventures into Virtual Banking
Picture courtesy: Thailand Post Thailand Post, the state-owned logistics giant, has announced plans to enter the burgeoning field of virtual banking. This strategic step aims to leverage the company’s extensive network and infrastructure, consisting of 1,600 branches nationwide and a delivery team of 25,000 postmen. Two Paths to Entry According to Dhanant Subhadrabandhu, President of Thailand Post, the agency is exploring two primary approaches to participate in the virtual banking sector. The first involves acquiring shares in a consortium applying for the Bank of Thailand’s virtual bank licences, which will be issued soon. The second option is positioning itself as a neutral virtual banking agent, offering support to all virtual banks. Discussions Underway Thailand Post is already in talks with several potential consortiums, though specific names have not been disclosed. Mr Dhanant believes joining a consortium could significantly expand Thailand Post’s business ecosystem and provide vital support to lenders. Target Customers and Services The company is keen to target migrant workers and Thai citizens who lack traditional employment documentation, who often find themselves underserved by conventional banking services. Acting as a neutral banking agent, Thailand Post could offer a myriad of services such as enabling cash deposits for unbanked customers through its extensive network. Operational Support Despite the digital nature of virtual banks, Thailand Post’s physical presence through branches and postmen can play a pivotal role. The agency’s staff could facilitate cash deposits into the virtual banking system, especially useful for hard-to-reach customer segments. Thailand Post already serves as a banking agent for various traditional banks, allowing customers to deposit or withdraw money at its branches. This existing infrastructure could easily be adapted to support virtual banking services. Industry Interest A source within the fintech industry reveals that five consortiums are keen on applying for virtual banking licences. Notable contenders include SeaMoney Thailand, VGI in partnership with Bangkok Bank, SCB X with KakaoBank and WeBank, CP Group under TrueMoney, and a collaboration between Gulf Energy Development, Krungthai Bank, Advanced Info Service, and PTT Oil and Retail Business. Conclusion The Bank of Thailand plans to issue three virtual bank licences initially, with applications closing on 19th September. Thailand Post’s move into the virtual banking sector could revolutionize financial services for underserved populations, leveraging its vast network to provide essential services and fostering greater financial inclusion. This initiative stands to not only diversify Thailand Post’s operations but also contribute significantly to the country’s digital financial infrastructure. -- 2024-08-31 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Anyone else tired of being followed around malls?
Usually I am completely ignored. In Thailand I feel nothing but privilege and advantage I have not been followed around a store since I was a teen *generally sus Try being non-white in the US. If I sit in a restaurant and am not greeted or offered a menu within 10 minutes I leave. -

Is the SAMSUNG A25 5G the best phone I can buy tomorrow...for the money...in Thailand?
IN a more equitable world.... We would all have good phones. But, alas... This world is not equitable. Some are destined to live in squalor. This is why Dickens has always been so very popular. Everybody loves to read about chimney sweeps. But.... I am not a chimney sweep. I will return my A55 to Samsung. And, I will buy the Pixel 9 XL..... And, for me.... A new day will dawn.... This has been a true learning experience for me..... Though....harrowing..... It must be said. -
