This could be there way of implementing this as it sounds like what they wanted to do 4 or 5 years back. You do realise that the cloud is a fancy name of someone else's hardrive, where you give all your data to freely. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAArdvark Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 What happens when you arrive with three kids under that age of 10, do they all have to have their own phones and speak Thailish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 6 hours ago, Salerno said: No, because it's not on any of the stores, nor is it a workable solution. IMO they should stick to the actual form that is designed for this eventuality instead of trying to catch up with this century at this point in time. The problem is that the Authorities and Government in Thailand kept trying to take the Tourist Bucks, and have been extremely slow to react to any threat from Covid19. Now the reality is starting to hit them, they are attempting to save face by announcing more Covid19 cases each day, and this APP is also an attempt to say to the wider World " Hey! we are so proactive with dealing with the Virus - look at us , we even have an APP "- but they dont yet. This is just another example of the incompetent, and shoddy way in which the Government has dealt with the crisis from day one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The paper T.8 form may be handed out on the plane, it's definitely available on arrival. or you can download it and fill it in before/during your trip. https://www.caat.or.th/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/T8_form.pdf See page 19 (of 20) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought that the full document might give folks additional/historical background. Just to reiterate. Providing the information appears to be required upon entry, definitely if coming from one of the countries listed in the "two danger zones) list.. One can use the paper form, or potentially, the app. Using the app is NOT REQUIRED/MANDATORY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be mandatory fines for this? What if, as the very worst scenario you delete it as soon as it has served its purpose. Far more likely is I use an old clean phone without any info on it or sim and wipe it again after. Given we are already tracked by so many different organizations anyways I feel no need to add another, especially one run by the present government. But, in reality, I suspect the paper form will suffice. Edited March 12, 2020 by metempsychotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupermarineS6B Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Can you imagine the confusion at the land borders if you tried something like this, i mean usually they're all on speaking English.......... How much more information do you need ???????? I said to someone last night, i bet shortly after a few cases with immigration staff they'll close the place and run off home........

dogfish180 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I just installed it on my spare phone. Good luck entering your date of birth!!! Toggle through every month one by one.

robertson468 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 But surely this information is contained on the Arrival Card, which you hand in at Immigration? Amazing how little these people think before implementing spurious rules. Even my lovely Thai Wife suggested yesterday that we go somewhere else that is not governed by crooks and numtees! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airlines could provide this app on the Onboard Entertainment system and when landed upload the data to Thai Immigration. When passport is scanned It would show up on Immigration's computer. Would mean you do not have to fill in that hard copy TM6 form. I could design a form that was universal to all flights and all countries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
