why it’s the Thai way of doing business with no hidden fees Ike Apple Pay

@Andrew ******

they are old school and took over for barcodes around the year 2001 even through they were created in 1994 in Japan by Denso Wave company

The QR code stated to really take off around 2010 but the average person started using them with social media apps like Line when 3g became inexpensive (2013 ish)…now with 5g being inexpensive people are using it for more endeavors like personalized payment systems

They will keep evolving until something better comes along

@Charles *******

tell me you have never eaten at at food stall in 2025 with the QR code without saying you haven’t 🤣🤣

@Mark *******

you haven’t even taken pics of food stalls that have the QR print out everywhere

@Mick *********

if you think a tourist is going to put there whole life savings on a prepaid QR code acct, you’re not the sharpest tool in the toolbox

@Charles *******

lol most people won’t even notice because they won’t read the agreement in Thai

@Dany *******

no gift cards to refill the prepaid acct or a bank to bank transaction or blockchain to app refill

Or old school cash to booth refill

There are multiple ways to refill…not all will require cold hard currency in your hand

With adoption, metrics and feedback the best solution will happen…it takes time but as you can see by just walking around its basically universally loved and accepted in a short amount of time

Plus why do you need hundreds of thousands of baht if you only want to do is buy street food and other items from street vendors…the avg person for those costs will only need ฿5,000-฿15,000 on the app for their 10-21 day holiday and anything left over will just be a savings for them

All other transactions will most likely use a credit card in malls etc

@Dany *******

I’m delusional but your name is nomads which is a fake name acct

@Dany *******

you’re just regurgitating ancient arguments associated with original 3g tourist SIM card

But guess what stepped

and sold top up cards

@Dany *******

not back in 2015 or 2010 with 3g when this same argument was posed 🤣🤣🤣
