Try going out of bkk there are thousands if not millions of people in Thailand wouldn’t even know what you are talking about.Wasn’t that long ago in Thailand they didn’t even have debit cards that were being used in other countries. Where I come from they are just bringing in the code form of payment now, we have a restaurant and no one has asked to use the system yet.I don’t use it anywhere.
great to be a dreamer,you think Thailand is that far ahead of the rest of the world, haven’t seen any other country go cashless yet and not likely to either.
I am not talking days, how many transactions happen per minute,filled your car can’t pay,got to check out can’t pay,I bet if you are right up with the times you can’t even wait 10 minutes.
why when you get a new passport you have to get your visa shifted to it?I was with someone who carried his old passport with him as he had not had his new passport updated.
I have stayed in two resorts this year that did not want my passport when my wife offered it to them and in 2023 we stayed in a hotel that would not take my passport.As long as you get a TM30 from someone before you go to immigration then that is fine.I came to Thailand for 13yrs. before I even new what TM30 was and that was only because I went for an extension.
