[baansgr]

Normal health and safety measures work well in the rest of the real world.....go on Phuket. thailand is already the laughing stock of SE Asia

Thainess.........yer gotta luv it.

Every person will be given one of these.(sold,rented one) the simple question is how many of the Chinese tourists would of survived the sinking of the Phoenix wearing one of these plastic cards.its a pathetic idea and money maker sold to the Thais the same as the fake bomb detectors they were sold years ago.

Actually I barely do either. It's not easily presented on the FB page.

Anyway, if I didn't want a dortor, could I have some son instead?

Good luck getting covered when the sh*t hits the fan--the typical covered up pricing as well....ugh

given the security and safety that I have seen on some boats, amongst others in Thailand, including not knowing how many passengers boarded, are onboard, went swimming, snorkeling, and how many arrive back, this would force some discipline on the boat operators.
( Even on some Scuba day-trip boats counting can be troublesome, once they did not notice there were free-loading passengers, on Jamaica that was ;-), took someone five days (x 3 dives ) to figure it out )

However, on topic: since all passengers will be recorded for H&S purposes, wonder how boat operators will explain the rise in passenger numbers to the taxman.

Are the bracelets for safety or to make sure they paid for their death trap boat ride?

Good or not.....what I read briefly it’s a headcount mechanism.

Can it track someone lost during a storm etc. It’s good that Systems are being implemented. If only to calm tourists fears

it needs to be effective.....

Is this the new Thai slogan, "tag em, and bag em" ?

Much easier to identify the body with a bracelet.

This is a great initiative.  It will speed up the process of identifying the deceased tourists, so their next of kin can receive their condolence baskets of fruit quicker.  ????

For 70 baht I want a wai, too!  ????

The word "reactive" comes to mind. This is about trying to get help after an incident has occured.

 

Proactive, to try and avoid problems, we might have to wait a while for that concept to arrive in Thailand.

Always the superficial and shallow answers without addressing the real issues...as it is too disturbing for them to bring them up.

[Lingba]

another brilliant Thai idea...sorry but colonization is the only answer
