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

And put on the tracker bracelet... Been talking about this for years, well since the generals moved in.

Will it keep foreigners safe from infected Chinese and Thais ???

There are currently (almost) no infected Thais. Well, that is until they arrive at overseas airports, and are tested with real tests...

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?

So all the poor guys here for years are going to suffer as being lepers... this is a horrific approach and as stated clearly xenophobic and racist as it clearly identifies a race.  Im so glad I made the decision to leave this rechid Country for the Sept 26 timeline... This place is tanking and the government continue to shoot themselves in the foot daily with the unbelieable level of stupidity.  No tourist in there right mind would accept this ontop of all the other hoops..  Does this mean everyone but Thais must install.

They could hide it in candy crush. That will cover most Thais ????

 

Or is candy crush sooo last year ????

End of the day, they analyse the visitors of Pattaya, Soi Cowboy, Nana etc;

 

All on the same route.

Coming soon.. "Walking ATM Tracker".. Can you imagine how much time these girls will save trying to track them down?

No, let the girls (or whatever sex they are) be the trackers....would help solve high unemployment in Thailand (which is really very low according to the govt).   Two Thais assigned to track each farang....no, on second thought that would mean 12 hour shifts 7 days weeks....so, go with 4 Thai's per farang which would allow 8 hour shifts and a day off each week.

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.

I used to have one of those when I worked for Motorola building the Cellnet system in the UK during the late 1980s.

 

You could always tell guys who had them by looking at their arm muscles. One was normal and the other was like Popeye on spinach.

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...

5G technology goes far beyond what current 4G mobile technology. No comparison really, 5G allows users to be tracked in real time with no need for triangulation. 

[AlfHuy]

I have to change girlfriend.

She asked me to find her 1G point.

Now, everybody talking about 5G;

I think she might be out of date.

[Redline]

Can it detect those under investigation?

Well, it really because of typically 5G "short range" (around 1500 feet typically)...due to this typically short range by knowing the nearby 5G cell radio you are connecting to will narrow down your location since the 5G radio will be so close.  And due to low building penetrating  ability of most 5G frequency bands the 5G radio you are connecting to could very well be right in/on the building.  With 3G/4G frequency bands which have much greater range the 3G/4G radio you are connecting to could be many kilometers away.

[malthebluff]

Why say protection from foreign people this is so racist this tracker  will help keep them safe from everybody who has covid that includes thais but this news always has to put foreigners in the front line making them out as some kind of dirty animal. And this is not the first news report thais are easy brainwashed just look at the bull the government tells them

So said the guy with either an android device or an iPhone...

I wonder if even an effective vaccine will kill off this way of thinking.

Hope they have a Thai one to track the infected Thais who return from other countrys

[Blumpie]

Sure, it may help, but to be honest many people spread it asymptomatically and they can easily spread it to others who then keep going and going...  

They have not really helped in the west.

Hope it works, but I am not so sure about it.  You have to try something.
