And again, it’s not a convenient tech solution. It’s a crap one. Instead if singing it’s praises and calling others tech Neanderthals you should probably engage with actual decent tech solutions.

@Jeremy *******
LOL. It’s hardly a peasant joke. But a guy as ignorant as you probably shouldn’t be talking down to others about tech.

@Alex ******
or Thailand could adopt modern tech 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Jeremy *******
Why do you keep pushing the advantages of a crap system?
Andrew *******
@Jeremy *******
Something better has been available for well over half a decade. The fact that Thai banks block the use of those better options is the issue.

@Jeremy *******
it takes vastly more time than genuine Tap or Pay Wave tech and that’s assuming none of the various processes you outline glitch. Which they do at times.

It’s a second class shit option. It’s arguably better than cash but as a tech solution it’s deeply second rate.

LOL. No it’s just that the Thai banks keep all the money for a vastly inferior system.

Tap for everything in a place like Oz or SG and then go and order a coffee behind 4 Thais in Starbucks when QR code scanning for different banks each slightly different in process and with little glitches and not reading code correctly etc. It’s a slower and vastly inferior process. I use both and even in Thailand choose Tap whenever possible.

@Jeremy *******
apparently you are living in the past as you think QR codes are “modern” :)

@Jeremy *******
if it was 2025 then Thais wouldn’t be using “S-Can” with QR codes they’d take payments with Google/Apple/Tap - actual modern tech.

That aside fair point
