STK: Still Has Room To Run But Isn’t As Attractive (NYSE:STK)
Financial analyst by day and a seasoned investor by passion, I’ve been involved in the world of investing for over 15 years and honed my skills in analyzing lucrative opportunities within the market.I specialize in uncovering high quality dividend stocks and other assets that offer potential for long term-growth that pack a serious punch for bill-paying potential. I use myself as an example that with a solid base of classic dividend growth stocks, sprinkling in some Business Development Companies, REITs, and Closed End Funds can be a highly efficient way to boost your investment income while still capturing a total return that follows traditional index funds. I created a hybrid system between growth and income and manage to still capture a total return that is on par with the S&P.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand highlights the “Pay Like a Local” initiative, enhancing cross-border QR payments for tourists. This collaboration involves banks and payment partners, promoting convenience for international visitors.
Introduction to “Pay Like a Local”
Bangkok, 26 June 2026 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is emphasizing the country’s readiness for Cross-Border QR Payment in tourism under the “Pay Like a Local” initiative. This program aims to integrate merchant adoption with traveler awareness, facilitating digital payments for international visitors and presenting new opportunities for Thai businesses. It is a collaborative effort led by the Bank of Thailand, featuring eight notable banks and payment partners such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. The goal is to enhance the ease of QR payments at key tourist attractions across Thailand, with a focus on East Asian markets.
Enhancing the Tourism Experience
Mrs. Sirigesanong Trirattanasongpol, TAT Executive Director for the East Asia Region, highlighted the significance of adapting to changing traveler behavior in regions where mobile payments are prevalent. The Cross-Border QR Payment system is crucial for improving the visitor experience, allowing travelers to use familiar payment methods seamlessly. The initiative supports users from numerous countries, including China and South Korea, reducing cash reliance while providing secure transactions. It positions Thailand as a modern global destination catering to digital-savvy tourists.
Engaging Merchants and Expanding Services
To introduce this initiative effectively, a Merchant Activation Roadshow is underway at Asiatique The Riverfront in Bangkok. This event engages local businesses in embracing QR payments, offering insights, consultations, and registration opportunities. Participating merchants can benefit from promotions and learn about system integration. This follows a successful pilot in Udon Thani aimed at preparing local operators for an expected influx of Chinese tourists. TAT continues to promote broader adoption, aligning with Thailand’s vision of a cutting-edge tourism industry.
