I would have thought they would have accepted a chanote

@Dana *********

in the last week ?

@Dan ********

they aren’t, what happens is a lot of the w⚓️ want to save 20 baht so instead of getting a SIM card at the airport and registering there passports , they buy them at over the counter and don’t register them.

mrt card need local bank to top up.

Electricity you can pay by Lazada with a credit card.

M pass is local bank only

Water for me is a bank transfer has to be a local bank cause it’s a bill. And if I’m not home when the bill comes it can get cut off.

But yeah your right you can 100% manage with out it but it’s a hell of a lot easier with one.

Save a lot of fees having an account,

To be honest I guess it depends on how far in bedded into Thailand, I have a car, motor bike., wife . Rent a condo ( had all this before i got my DTV) but obviously the DTV was a no brainer 5 years , 180 day stamps pretty good option

@Stephen *******

paying bills , electricity , insurance, water , top up MRT cards , m pass toll top ups .

And generally making you feel apart of the community( is why I have it )

@Andrew ******

I’m gonna say it’s the fact that it rivals the elite visa both 5 years one is a 10th of the cost of the other.

I’d bet my left and right nuts that it’s because they would have seen a decline in elite visa sales in the past 12 months since the DTV had been available.

And yes Taksin has his finger in the elite visa pie to

@Jimmy ***
