Get him to pay for the beers on his watch and you pay for the kebabs 😎
Talking to a bar owner here, he has now installed cashless, QR code and credit / debit card. He would prefer people to pay cash, as they are more likely to leave a tip for the girls.
Unless the girls carry around personal QR codes with them, also hard to give them a personal tip.
Imaging in a gogo bar, trying to tip girls, hand out 100 baht or 20 baht "gifts" via QR code or card.
One thing came up yesterday while in a restaurant in Pattaya, a guys bill came to 109 baht. The computer connection was down, so he was asked to pay by cash. He had zero cash on him !
My thought at the time was, "who goes out with zero cash on them in Pattaya" ?
Maybe there are more places than I know of, that do QR codes or card payments as I have not been asking generally.
I will however start to pay in my local bars and restaurant with a QR code (direct from my bank transfer). I know it is traceable, the thing is, I have nothing to hide.
