Pattaya Malls re-opening the new set up and QR codes....

[redwood1]

Has any one been to the malls?

 

It seems most shops in Central mall are doing the temperature thing the hand gel thing and asking you to register in a registration book or use a QR code to enter each shop....And the same goes for the food court......And also when you enter the mall too...

 

One thing I noticed before when I wanted to look at some thing in a shop I just walked in looked and walked out.......Now you have to a big decision if its worth going through all of this stuff just to walk into a shop.....For me this is the end of casually entering a shop....I would have to now be very sure they had something I really needed....

 

And I noticed in the food court most tables have a plastic partition between you and some one else.....So it would not be easy to talk to a person you are dinning with....

How idiotic is this?  So when my son and I go out, I have to distance from him?

 

That's stupid.

Today was the first day the shops were open. In one of two weeks time things may be different

Why after all would you do that? Most people don't want to pay $60 a month for a year to be able to read your suggested article.

If it isn't freely available to all, don't offer it.

I posted it. When I viewed the article It did not require I have a subscription and I wasn't aware that was a function of the site. Sometimes they give you freebies and you don't even realize it. Clicking on the link I now see it wants me to pay and I would never post such a link, but it hadn't the first time. Now you have your answer.

Gentlemen.

This is the new way of life for the next 12 months at least. Especially if there is a second wave during the coming winter.

Please just accept the way life is. No matter what country you live in now you will be experiencing the same thing.

Being old and Victor Meldrew over this crisis which is out of your hands and every other joe blogs is not going to do your health any good...

Suck it up...

Welcome to the new world...

It just means there will be even more incentive to shop online. Come on Jeff Bezos, it's high time for Amazon.co.th to take on Lazada, lol.

I hate to say it but if Amazon were available in Thailand that would improve my happiness here more than almost anything else I can think of

Your attitude might be a good one and I might agree with it if I knew this nightmare had a 12 month lifespan...But the new normal seems to have no time limit.....So I can not agree with you....Living life like your on parole is not living life... 

[Oldie]

Has anyone been to Tukcom? Is it the same there? There I always look in many shops but if it is so complicated I will not go there. Will try to order on the internet then. 

 

The "funny" thing will be that if someone gets Corona and has been in the same shop as you at about the same time then you will end up in quarantine I guess.

Lazada is owned by Alibaba and I refuse to put a dime in China's hands.

Correct, that's what's happening in South Korea, China before that. Authorities will be alerted and they have your details, track you down and zappppp.

 

News from Richard Barrow, Lotus, BigC, Tops all doing the same QR code even some 7/11s.

Have you tried bypassing cookies and the paywall in incognito mode?

Rubbish.

 

No other country in the world will implement such a thing (mandatory tracing in public places), unless they are either communist, wannabe communist, or military dictatorship.

Exactly, people need to wake up and see what this is all about, 100% control. The countries that have the worst death tolls are not implementing this and countries with low death tolls are, says it all!

In democratic countries, people will not put up with this rubbish.

 

They do in China, they might in Thailand (many Thais believe in ghosts, they might believe this is done for a greater good, who knows).

 

They don't really protest in the streets like we do in Europe, these countries like China...Thailand....

 

We are very fussy about GDPR in Europe.

How much publicity does protesting in the streets get by the corrupted media, I just looked at the MSM and there is no mention of protests, only the usual MSM nonsense. vaccines are good for you rubbish!

Don't get me wrong, I would rejoice if the media truly started to represent the "people" instead of their paymasters "agenda"

Actually the BBC featured articles about the UK and German protests this weekend, even the trashy papers had the UK protests. I read a lot of the comments in UK online papers, there was support for the lockdowns first of all, but it's shifting to open up again with no intrusion of privacy.

Thais tend to do what they are told when it's in regards to national emergencies. I always get told by Thai girls that I ask too many questions, I say in our western counties we are taught to ask questions and there is the difference between the cultures.

For you to better understand the potential of this technology, I will link this article:

 

https://abcnews.go.com/International/china-rolls-software-surveillance-covid-19-pandemic-alarming/story?id=70131355

 

"......the move has alarmed leading international human rights advocates, who fear that the government is merely using the ongoing public health crisis as a “convenient justification” to expand monitoring of its population.

“This is viewed as scary stuff from a human rights perspective,” Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch, told ABC News. “[It is] yet another way to gather information about people to potentially use it against them in ways which there's no legal basis.”

 

....and this leads to a lot of possible abuses where political dissidents and other historically marginalized groups can be targeted for punitive quarantine measures just as a way to cut them off from public life.”

“You could also see China use surveillance to target human rights advocates and political protesters,” he added, “and defend against criticism by simply claiming that all of it is for public health purposes.”

 

Do you now better understand where this is going, in regards to QR codes and Thailand?

3028 cases don't warrant this type of monitoring in Thailand, these QR codes are a product of PRC and just to control the masses. Line up, scan, enter, rinse and repeat in every shop.

Note your comment, just looked at BBC (Brussels brainwashing corp) there is nothing about UK or German protests, you misunderstand where I am coming from, this should be headline news, but they chose to "hide" it, one thing that has surprised me with the current "agenda" is how powerful the media is, & how weak the population/people are. not happy about that fact!

Do I understand where this is going? sadly it looks to me like yet further subservience! if you know different please enlighten me , it would be welcome news!

Well....yeah. The technology in the Pattaya malls is Chinese, I agree.

 

And what do you think Thailand desires, in reference to controlling the masses, and certain people staying in power?

 

They don't have China's tracking power, that's a different story. They wish they had.

 

That's called a wannabe in English.

I agree 101% disgusting, did they just roll out this "technology" or have they had it waiting in the background?

Control the masses, stop the protests?
