connda Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 "This would be done for the sake of their safety." Just like requiring criminals to where ankle monitors is 'for the sake of their safety' no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realenglish1 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 This is a bad idea from inception No were else in the world do they track tourists like this Not even in Russia or Cuba This is 1984 Once word gets out that the government wants to track people this way Tourists will stay away in droves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizboi Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 They’ll wish they hadn't found out some tourists habits!! …by the way will those parties of 138 Chinese tourists that all wander round following a flag have to wear them too. At least if they do the authorities will know when they all try to get in the lift together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamalaRider Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Anyone accepting being tagged must be out of their mind. DON'T GO TO PHUKET or Thailand on holiday, the only way to send Mr. PM the message that people from other countries aren't numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpharma Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Why don't "tag" Prawit's expensive watches? It might bring a lot of usefull infomation... and of course it could be tried out on all high officials ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timber Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Don't see a problem. Once you establish a buying and visitation pattern then the buyers and sellers can use that data to track you down and help you make further choices. Wives can find out where their husbands are and make sure the morality of the family is kept in tact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
