So tourists don't arrive on an STV and go home with an STD!

Yes, but you can delete the app as soon as your get your Covid certificate and walk out of ASQ.

I'm a foreigner but I do not possess a mobile what do I want one for. Its all resuming

[Deli]

And this App works of course with foreigners only

Unbelievable stupidity. Reminds me of the dumb doctor. 

 

"If the country decides to take risks, everyone must rely on themselves because this is a war between virus and humans and people need to survive,” Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Medicine lecturer Thira Woratanarat added. 

Dumb and dumber. This numskull has been droning on and on forever. While collecting a fat salary. No regard for the masses. None.

 

So many distortions here. First of all this appears to be a fairly low grade virus. What percent of fatalities here were under 65-70 years old? What percent did not have underlying conditions? He makes it sound like a second wave would knock out the population. Millions of tourists were here in Nov. Dec. Jan. and Feb. Many were likely infected. Yet? 58 deaths. Less than two days on the highways here. Do they shut down the highways? 

 

Adults 65 and older account for 16% of the US population but 80% of COVID-19 deaths in the US, somewhat higher than their share of deaths from all causes (75%) over the same period.

 

May common sense and reason eventually prevail! 

 

Out with the fearmongers. Lock them up!

Reminds me of some 70 years ago, shaven heads, striped clothes and as some have said a Big Yellow Star or could be in this case and oversize Covid emblem , makes it so much easier to see, applicable to ALL Tourists, if you are NOT a Thai national you must be foreign  

 

They already have the Boys in Brown and sometimes they are in Black , missing a nationalistic emblem though.

Only they don't need an app to track you. 5G

Amazing to see that there's no end to the rubbish some departments will put out to so they feel that they're still relevant and they too, have something to say, never mind that is it mostly rubbish and at least it is their way to say: hey we're here too and we're too and still relevant to what that is going on...

Guess that is the way it works here with most of the government agencies and ministries.

That's why there is no development in this country

I did see a lot of pinstriped suits st the Republican convention

[Wiggy]

Why not just send us all to a leper colony? 

[DrTuner]

Just take a red hot cattle iron with "AI FARANG" and press it to forehead. That'll make them pesky foreigners come in droves - nay, reserve everything in droves so Thais can cancel and keep the dosh.

I sure hope this information is secure, and not hackable.  Just what someone needs on the internet, and to be used by god knows who.

Thais don't do privacy.

I can just picture Eric Idle walking past all the hotels with a cart shouting, “Bring out your COVID!”

[natway09]

Make them wear for 2 months with a warning device issued to bars       Beep,,, OUT !!!

[Call]

Great, make another tracker for road accidents (25.000 dead a year) and HIV (14.000 dead 2019).

Another who has a sick, distorted opinion of that time.  Being flippant.

This is nothing like the horrific travesty of the holocaust and how humans were treated some of you need to grow up. 

[Sydebolle]

If this really works, may I suggest to:
- mark also each and every bank note by those dirty farangs, to be incinerated due to the infectious state of the money
- get the little sweetheart of the Red Bull empire equipped with it so it will save further embarrassment to the police and lots of thick brown envelopes for the Red Bull pricks in-laws

Just saying ........ 

Good luck with yet another output of some of those great minds ......

You must live in a very small world if you think no other country is using phone apps.

We how come those who are already here don’t notice a crazed stalking of our every moves by all Thais .

keeping Thais (and the rest of us here) safe is already being done by keeping the door closed..

Ah, so the same as 4G, 3G, 2.5G, 2G etc etc!  All digital mobile phones can be located very easily, either from the cellsite ID that you are connected to, or by simple triangulation from the nearest 3 cellsites.  Nothing unique about 5G...

You forgot about my analog brick phone that I still have in the bag.  Wonder how to get it up and running again without using a land line connection.

[crazykopite]

Yet more BS tomorrow is Saturday maybe they will allow us dirty farangs to have 48 hours holiday so we are not subjected to all this pretence by the way this dirty smelly farang who has lived in the kingdom for 14 years spent 10,000 baht this morning not much I know but every baht helps during this pandemic .

The Racism and Prejudice never stops with these clowns " Land of Clowns "????

[mikeymike100]

The headline really says it all. "CAT's "Covid Tracker" will help keep Thais safe from possibly infected foreign tourists"

Not only is it xenophobic, but it borders on being racist and it certainly will NOT be welcomed by any would be tourist if there are any.

 

Are they crazy, this will positively drive tourists away, maybe that's what they want?
