Dining-in Proposed for Eateries

"Customers must have received at least two doses of COVID-19 vaccines and present the evidence of their full vaccination via the Mor Prom app"

 

as the anticipated segregation begins...

These geniuses can't think 2 moves ahead in a game of checkers

Ok, how will they deal with the "millions" of vaccinated tourists they are certain will be coming?

"But I had 2 shots of Pfizer AND a booster shot!!"

"Not in Thailand. You want take away?"

Seriously

When were they phased out... I have a vague recollection of my parents having one of those?

I have all my old passports back in the UK  (sad hoarder of all paperwork), but  I'm only guessing at the end of the 80's would have been the time ours ran out and then the style changed in 1993 which I assume ended the use of marriage passports.

The worry is It's simply the thin end of the wedge.. hurtling towards a Chinese "credit" system where for example you can't get on a train if you have voiced "incorrect" views on something  your opinion earns demerit points..try to buy a train ticket denied !!!

that is a scary dystopian future I for one don't wish to see or live under.

I think thats the worry of a lot of people who read George Orwell’s 1984. 

 

There is a major fear of this dystopian future, giving up our individual rights, right to bear arms etc etc

 

But there is also a bigger picture, we need to have some form of balance. 

 

IMO restaurants Proving vaccination status is a good thing. I won’t mind that. But others who don’t want to be vaccinated will hate it of course. 

There is also the issue of those ‘unable’ to get vaccinated (for medial reasons) who would become unfairly discriminated against. 

Any such system needs any ‘clumsy edges’ removed, especially with regards to those who have been vaccinated outside of the Thai system. 

 

IF people do not wish to be vaccinated or do not wish to present a QR Code when going into a restaurant thats their choice.

 

Ultimately, while the subject raises valid points, the reality will be different, as others have said - this is all hot-air..... Pretty much like every other similar announcement.

This will be completely ignored by all but the big chain restaurants, who can afford to turn away paying customers.... Most restaurants don't have the will or the time to be vax police...

If  2 vaccinations are really required they might as well remain closed! 

Most of them will.

Waaay too early to open such businesses. Thailand needs to learn from the mistakes made by other countries, not repeat them!

The 'clumsy edges' will likely be filed down by the usual lack of enforcement and side-stepping of the literal interpretation of the rules.

Have all restaurant staff had 2 jabs? Of course not.

Now, when will the pubs re-open? Ready for a pint with friends.

Yes but you don't need it, or your passport info for the app.

Just your vaccination code from the paper given to you.

All the your data is on record and the app links to that.

Actually I am very impressed with it.

I will be nice and add the procedure for you.. thank u.

Sorry about the order..start at Part #1 and good luck.

Thanks, finally got my ID number, your instructions helped a lot.
