    Foreign tourists must use Covid-19 tracking app when travelling to Thailand

    Don't forget your head shot... And of course you can trust them with all that data they are going to suck off your phone.

    Foreign tourists travelling to Thailand will need to download the Covid-19 contact tracking mobile application “ThailandPlus” before arriving in Thailand and use it throughout their stay. The app will notify travellers if they have been in close contact with any confirmed cases.
    Throughout their trip to Thailand, tourists will need to keep the app “on” and check in and out of various locations by scanning QR codes. The app requires access to the smartphone’s GPS , but the Tourism Authority of Thailand says the information collected will only be used for public health purposes and will not infringe on the tourists’ right to privacy.
    Travellers will also need to upload a recent headshot as well as supply their Certificate of Entry number and reference ID from the Royal Thai Embassy.
    The app is a spinoff to the “Thai Chana” and “Mor Chana” apps. All use GPS and Bluetooth as well as QR code scanning to detect the users’ locations. The apps sparked controversy and many Thais expressed concerns about their privacy, but the government has assured the public that information will be kept private.
    The development of the app is a collaboration between the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, the Prime Minister’s Office and the Digital Government Development Agency.
    Click HERE to download the ThailandPlus.

    Nothing new there. In PI, incoming travellers must download a similar app, called Traze. In my hometown, we have QR code scanning for major establishments, banks, utilities, the wet market, churches, etc. No face mask, no face shield, no QR code = no entry.

    Other towns/ cities have their own apps or QR codes. Not a big deal anymore.

    Edit: PI is still closed to tourists. Only open to citizens, former citizens & immediate families, as well as diplomats & those with existing visas like retiree or work visa.

    Our tracing app has

    - Location
    - Physical Activity

    The Thailand one will probably be

    Bank details
    Your naked selfies
    All of your emails and messages
    etc. etc.

    Yes, just a *little* bit of testing might have helped...

    How the fuck did it get 1.8?
