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?

Yindii is clever. Used it once and was happy with the results.

Great info. Will definitely give Bolt and Yindii a try
 

Not sure about that fellow in the second half of the video. I think he waves his hands around a bit too much

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).
