I managed to get the BKK app working on the phone. It sent an SMS each time I attempted to set up but failed many times to verify my number. Need to turn wifi off. Need to turn accessibility off on phone. Needed to scan my wife's face. Yes to try the QR code payment. The small market here accepts code and cash.

We went to Bangkok bank this morning mugdahan. Probably about an hour while she tried installing on my phone. In the end I think a week before it gets updated so can get it working with account. I don't think my wife knew what is happening, she says she has been in Australia too long and doesn't understand what the teller is saying and in usual style just says yes when she probably means no.

what is that?

@Carsten ***********

we are only here for another 2 months. We have been here a month and the first time we have eaten out. Fresh food markets still accept cash haven't seen qr codes.

@Carsten ***********

we are not sure who's phone number we gave the bank. Our Thai phone numbers will be expired in 3 months. Dtac esim.

@Steve ******

and I was about to say must be only in non tourist areas because it seems the QR code promptpay is not tourist friendly. Can't just simply link it up to a visa card.

@Tony ********

cash is being phased out in Australia but slowly. Armaguard the cash movers last I heard were struggling. The only time I have seen qr codes is in the sausage sizzle at Bunnings.

@Olivier ********

I just tried with the BKK app. Needed her id date of birth the other number on the back of id, debit card number. Then error saying contact bank.

@Marty ********

my wife has a BKK bank account might be worth while making the effort and get the online access.

I asked Meta AI the question. That's an interesting observation! In Thailand, it's common for media outlets to blur or pixelate images of animals, especially exotic or endangered species, to avoid promoting or glorifying illegal wildlife trade or exploitation. This is likely the reason why the liger was blurred out, while the tiger was shown clearly. The blurring is a way to adhere to ethical and legal guidelines, as well as to raise awareness about wildlife conservation and protection. Additionally, it's possible that the liger was blurred out due to copyright or ownership issues related to the image or footage used in the news broadcast.
