Immigration shares foreign-resident database with tourism agency

PATTAYA:--Banglamung District Chief Naris Niramaiwong opened a March 13 seminar on the joint project at the Jomtien Palm Beach Resort. The two agencies signed an agreement to collaborate on a database containing information on foreign residents and their accommodations.

 

Chonburi Immigration chief Pol. Col. Srongprode Sirisuka said the objective was to enhance security with DASTA wanting information on accommodation and residences of foreigners so police can locate any missing foreigners or criminals with records.

By locals!

" so police can locate any missing foreigners or criminals with records."

 

but first they will have to step over the piles of dead bodies on Thailand's highways.

Does this explain how I got advert for cruise ship tour from company I have never had contact with nor been to their website? Trying to outdo facebook? Who has gotten the money for this info? Gonna do a Zuckerberg and admit they betrayed our trust, or do they even have an inkling of understanding?

nice big free for all there 

I think the criminal elements amongst us are probably unlikely to make their whereabouts known to the authorities, for obvious reasons, so one has to question if "data for sale" is at play or some other ulterior or sinister motive.

Hopefully not a mass culling.

What is DASTA?

Quote

 

The Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration (DASTA) is working against time to promote its cause across the country before implementation of the Asean Economic Community in 2015. ... They also offer similar tourism products, some of which are far better than Thailand's as pristine destinations. Mar 20, 2012
DASTA works to preserve sustainable tourism ahead of AEC

It is comforting to know that, despite adoption of the latest surveillance technology and data harvesting techniques, Thai officialdom remains as incompetent as ever. 

 

We can sleep easy knowing that the hunt for Boss and La Shinawatra goes on....

DASTA has a website http://dasta.or.th/ which has mission statement, but nothing about security.

Sharing data.

 

One should ask Mark Zuckerberg about how much trouble it may get one into...
