Aliexpress or Thai Merchant Scam
You are tossing out concepts without considering practicality. Credit/debit cards are evolved. One just has to set up the security parameters. This means using cards with chips that require a pin, and transaction alerts. I receive an alert on my mobile for large transactions, and account changes. Signing into any of my FI and CC accounts requires multi factor authorization with a code generated. Card users must take responsibility for their own basic security. It is far more risky for me to walk around with 50,000 baht to purchase an item than to execute the transaction online. Online shopping is not a "cult like" existence. I don't have the time to chase after many consumer items, nor do I wish to spend time going to retailers to collect heavy objects. It is cost effective and efficient to have my heavy or bulk items purchased online. I know what the cost of some items are, and if a retailer has my size and offers a competitive price, I will purchase online. My time has value. I am not playing games with anyone because I only purchase form verified sources such as the manufacturer or an authorized distributor. I don't have to modify my lifestyle to resist anything. I purchase online because it is often easier, more cost effective and allows me to use errand time for leisure time. Yes, to using credit cards prudently, no to avoiding online transactions outright. -

Even the tone of the article endorses the fact to surcharge foreigners. So to be fair, there should be reciprocities.
