yes, the APPS mentioned are quite useful, but i would like to comment on other APPS like 7 11, rabbit pay and True - all need a Thai ID (for which many foreigners do not possess) to register and use. and hence barred from membership and discount. True money apps also require selfie and authentication each year and alleged it is requirement by bank of thailand and prevent money laundering! but all banks in thailand do NOT need annual selfie or authentication AND do not require Thai ID to.open bank account, what is the logic or rationale for the discrepancy? isn't banks more vulnerable for money laundering?

Yeah, makes me feel dizzy. Very off-putting.

Rabbit Line Pay does not require a Thai ID, foreigners can register with Passport or Work Permit. But the verification process can be long.

Foreigners who work and pay taxes here can actually register to 7/11 app by using the 13-number ID provided on the top left of a P.N.D. 91 form receipt, but cannot register an all member card since the code on the back of a standard Thai ID card is required for that (I don't have a pink card so don't know if that is valid).

      Ukraine/Russian Conflict - General Discussion

      He very nearly did astro when his troops took over Chornobyl then spread contaminated soil when his tracked vehicles churned up the soil and spread it about.

      Ukraine/Russian Conflict - General Discussion

      Of course Us & French have nukes, too. But will they reciprocate on behalf of the Ukraine in case of limited, localised strikes on Ukrainian territory? That would go against NATO policy. I don't find the possibility so absurd and laughable as some here. There is also still the possibility of a nuclear installation disaster, be it by targeting or accident. It has been a close call already. Too scary to imagine and talk about? Would Putin be willing to turn part of the Ukraine into an uninhabitable wasteland as a buffer zone, if he can not win the war - ehh, sorry, military operation?

      News Forum - Proposal for telecom providers to help tidy up Bangkok cables

      telecommunication service providers must work together on how they will manage the cables and whether they can afford to do the job. They are some of the biggest profit makers in Thailand. Start jailing a few of their executives and multi million baht fines for future deaths attributable to their bad practices and they'll clean up their act quickly.

      Ukraine/Russian Conflict - General Discussion

      Impressive until you break the numbers down a little. As for active personal, it’s important to remember conscripts are not allows to fight outside of Russia unless war is declared. Contract personnel can not be forced to fight outside of the country unless they volunteer. That 1M includes everyone from the men on ships, to aircraft mechanics, to the guys who drive trucks. Don’t get me wrong it is a big army. However, as someone pointed out, Russia is also a very big country for that army to cover. Without calling a general mobilization, there is a finite number of people Russia can send to Ukraine to fight. As to reserve personnel: The Russian reserve has over two million former conscripts and contract servicemen on paper, but few are actively trained or prepared for war.[11] Historically, only 10 percent of reservists receive refresher training after completing their initial term of service.[12] Russia lacks the administrative and financial capacity to train reservists on an ongoing basis. According to a 2019 RAND analysis, Russia only had 4,000 to 5,000 troops in what would be considered an active reserve in the Western sense, meaning soldiers attending regular monthly and annual training.[13] Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has repeatedly stated that the Russian Armed Forces hoped to have 80,000-100,000 active reserve members.[14] https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/explainer-russian-conscription-reserve-and-mobilization That reserve force is little more than a piece of paper with 2M names on it in Moscow. To access those men, Putin needs to mobilize and so far he is refusing to do so. Clearly there is some domestic issue keeping him from doing so, what that is I’m not sure. Even if he does, those men are probably 4-5 months of training away unless you are looking at them as little more than cannon fodder.
