Popular Post innosiem Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2020 you have to scan a QR because they have made the worst tracing system possible not that i care for this to work as it has nothing to to do with tracing any virus or disease but instead of creating an app that works in the background with zero input from the end user they made a voluntary tracking system where you must enter data manually each time at every location this is beyond ridiculous for its desired use and from a developer viewpoint such inconvenience for consumers to enter and leave a business will DESTROY and businesses that manage to survive this nonsense The sheep will cheer when corp' owned stores like 7-11 ride this through and remain open as all little independent businesses close The sheep will also cheer when android and apple release their tracking apps that do not need any manual input or action with "look its great, you don't even need to scan a QR" ????♂️ Typical opinion of most sheep is everything is fine when because it does not affect me it is taking everyone far to long to wake up to the reality of what is happening. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sundown Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2020 During this lockdown for some odd reason I stopped going to 7 eleven. Now I realize what a useless waste of money on carbs and sugars it is going to that place. It was more an addiction than a real need. By the way to stay on topic, be very careful giving out your real names and numbers. Those lists will be easily resold to marketing agencies. When I scan I always pretend I'm doing it just to enter the mall 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I scan I always pretend I'm doing it just to enter the mall I think it's sad that many Thai people load their kids up with snacks from 7 eleven. It's NOT food! Yes.

couchpotato Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Can confirm today at two 7/11's (one brightside and one darkside) that along with the temp check and splash of gel, also had to write name and tel nbr on a sign in sheet. No QR code and no signing out. So only takes a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we get used to one chip, surely some will rush to get multiple chips implanted. It could even become a fashion, chips in the teeth, chips on the ears.. There will be all sorts of chips to choose, the cheap ones and the futuristic, what is there not to be happy ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Phuketshrew Posted May 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just popped down to our local 7/11. About a dozen staff. No temperature check on the way in even though I gestured there should be. An open book that looked like a sign in book but was not asked to sign it or use an App. Paid the leccy bill and bought some ice cream for the kids - no ploblem. One thing you can always rely on here - inconsistency ???? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no app involved. They should have a QR code (like below) on display that you can use with your smart phone to scan and takes you to the web site to sign in and then sign out when you leave.

If your phone can read a QR, it's because you have an app for reading QR codes. It may not be specific to this particular purpose, and it may have been preloaded when you bought the phone. But it is an app. Edited May 27, 2020 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night i bought a couple of beers in the little shop, about 10 locals hanging and chatting around in 4 sq. meters, including one of the local finest sitting on the floor, all without masks except the farang (me).

The correct URL is www.thaichana.com, not thaichana.com This is Thailand and you must use Thailand 1.0. The Thailand 4.0 touted in the media is just vapourware. Anyway, what do you need from the Thaichana website? I understand that this site is for business owners to get the QR quote to display in the shop for customers to scan before entering the shop, or have I got this wrong?

robblok Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Just went to the makro scanned the qr code in got refered to the thaichana site and clocked in (less then one min asked for my phone nr that was all). Then after i was done shopping i checked out with the qr code and had to do a small survey about if the staff wore masks if hand sanitizer was there ect. (took a bit more time think 30 seconds). So easy no problems at all no app involved just a QR code that helps logging in on a website that ONLY collects your phone nr. This is far better then using a pen on paper and this shows how long you were in the shop so it helps for better contact tracing as now they have to alert a smaller group (just those who were there at the same time) not all day. I really dont understand those crazy foreigners who have so much problems following the rules. Seems like a great system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from walking into Lotus as it was a couple of months ago it really is so easy. My wife put my name in Thai and my 10 yo Nokia phone number on a piece of paper , I show this on entry , give it to the lady who copies the name and number. I don't touch any pen or sheets of paper just the one with ME on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, but eventually this will be converted to a real time trace and track system. You will become reliant on what others self report, so if Lek wakes up with what seems to be Covid19 symptoms and reports it on her app, then you will be wiped out the game for 2 weeks if you have been around her.
