While we are on the subject of money (yeah I know, boring), my landlord informed me yesterday that he is can now accept WISE payments. What is the latest low-down on WISE? I've always looked for an easier (and safer) way to pay my rent but this is the first digital payment method that has been available to me other than doing wire transfers.

Thailand is apparently far behind in the digital money transformation, with Apple Pay (and Android Pay?) still not accepted for purchases. After spending time in Europe this summer and in the South Pacific last spring, I became just so used to zap-zap-zap and its done that I am surprised how weird it is to pay cash for everything here, or even having to haul out a credit card.
