It's been 184 days since a true domestic "case" of covid in Thailand...that's just over 13 fourteen-day quarantine periods. Why are we wearing masks?

All data is stored in anonymous form, until it isn't. How the authorities won't look, until they need to, and the ap will only be active as long as they want it to be. ... Obviously nothing to worry about, why else write all that? Actually I wouldn't worry that much except for mistakes. "Urgent! All band alert! Rabus is infected!" With your mobile phone already connected to your pasport or ID-card, in principle Big Brother can watch without any app, as long as the phone is switched on; however an app would also not work when a phone is switched off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuwadeeS Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Thailand just will copy China. Tracking everybody, everytime. Make sense, because the elite mostly have Chinese roots. And the Western smile and agree. They are still not aware of all these surveillance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 be useful if they did similar to get ride of TM30. rather than report via immigration can just can QR code and reporting every 90 days the same way. selfie with address in back ground and some kind of time stamp. if have to report anyway then better to save time with tech than go to immigration with large queue personally i do not like the reporting i reckon border bouncing is a must but the time should be once a year plus if tourists can show a foreign bank statement showing they have enough income to stay here for many years then they should be able to do as many border bounces as need be. infant why border bounce when we have tech.

Same as the house right of any private business, if they decide to keep certain groups out, yes it's racist but their decision and right 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a good supplement to the quarantine, wristbands and minders they already have lined up. I just installed Mor Chana just to have a look at it. One of the questions in the registration/initial assessment was "Do you work near foreigners?". It would be interesting to know how many black marks are given for answering "yes" to that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
