It would seem like they are doing everything they can to keep people from wanting to visit here. 
I wonder if Chinese tourists will be exempt from wearing these tracking devices?

Of course not the ones with their Lear jets who neve made it.

"Long term" tourist spends 14 days in quarantine, having tested negative twice.

 

A month after leaving quarantine they display symptoms of the COVID virus that they picked up from a Thai 2 weeks after leaving quarantine.

 

Tourist gets blame for carrying a "new strain" of virus that "hid" during pre-visit test, quarantine and the following 2 weeks.

 

Thai infection group that they caught it from gets identified and portrayed as "victims".

 

Myth of foreigners as only threat to an otherwise COVID clean population is maintained.

 

 

 

Exactly! This is more or less what already happened to this Uszbek footballer of Buriram United about two months ago, who was tested positive 4 weeks after he left Uszbekistan and arrived back to Thailand.

 

This article describes quite well the mindset of Thais regarding foreigners and Covid, or better what the mindset of Thai has been made by the propaganda machinery of the powers that be, during the last 8 months:

And which govt minister has the franchise to import these digital monitors?

 

It's a safe bet that the Hero-General himself....will once again be personally be in charge of the.... "Who deserves the majority of the money"?...committee.

Hahaha. Yeah right.  How desperate do they think people are to visit Thailand. 
What idiot visitors wants to put legality into a program like this.  
What a f...ed up world. 
As if the tourists are the only thing moving around to track while the rest of Thailand’s people are static object not not  moving around.  
Things are getting beyond dumb. 

Hey not so fast.

I have seen plenty of Thai people static / lazy, most of there lives. :cheesy:

They havent got a clue. One minute they are suggesting ways of attracting more tourists such as reducing the quarantine period, then next they announce this. 
 

They really are driving a nail in the already buried coffin. 

Always been gung ho with new ideas or programs ,tomorrow usually about face

My guess that these devices Are quite unreliable meaning many false positives and then wasting time with heath officials during your stay 

 

It doesn't matter if they actually work....the only important question here is.....how much money can they extort out of tourists dumb enough to buy into the whole idiotic idea.

Thailand to track tourists with digital wristbands

The Thai government has announced plans to track foreign tourists using digital wristbands.

 

The new wristbands will be introduced from 1 November and will be used as a tool in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The wristbands track the location of the wearer and are also capable of measuring heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature.

 

If a body temperature over 37.5c is recorded, an alert will automatically be sent to local health officials.

The limited number of foreigners arriving in Thailand as part of the Special Tourist Visa program will be the first to wear the new wristbands. 

 

It is not known how long foreign tourists would be required to wear the wristband. 

 

The news comes as the Cabinet this week agreed in principle to allow foreign tourists and crew of yachts to enter Thailand under the Special Tourist Visa program.

What a bonanza for kick-back and corruption!  Someone is will get the contract to supply TAT with  millions of these things at $100 each.  Then, surprise, surprise, they will find they have bought wrist bands with no 'works' in them, so tourists will go about free and nobody will be any the wiser, but one or two very much richer.

It might seem a stupid idea the Farangs but to any Thai official it is the most brilliant thing to come out of Covid

to the thai, all non-thais are foreign tourists; doesnt matter if you have lived here longer than they have

I seriously wonder when the Eye of Sauron is going to turn in the direction of long-stay expats like those of us married to Thai women.  Give it time for the nationalistic xenophobia to really start percolating to the surface.  In the meantime I know 5 guys from the US who are established businessman who have been travelling to Thailand annually for years.  We've been in touch.  Thailand is probably off their itineraries unless "new normal" returns to "old normal" but none of us see that happening so I doubt they'll be returning in the future.  Especially with US citizens who tend to balk at things like being monitored just like criminals.

Not such a big deal for the Chinese and maybe the Aussies or other countries where the citizens pretty much accept "big brother" authoritarianism as normal and no big deal.

Wonder how much these are going to cost the tourist ?

Why don't they use these wristbands instead of the 14 days quarantine and let people quarantine at home?

OH! Silly me, money of course, most keep the greedy soldiers income streams up.

These devices are full of flaws, they're going to send alarms of low blood pressure, tachycardia, fever all over the place. It's not gonna work. 

So guy picks up a bar girl.  Suddenly the police and medics are called out to 13.737167, 100.561610 because the tourist's blood pressure, heart-rate, and temperature have gone off the chart.  Yeah, what could go wrong?
