Popular Post Gumballl 976 Posted Sunday at 01:35 PM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 01:35 PM Be wary of scanning a QR code; you never know what you are scanning. Scammers have been known to use these for subversive purposes.

Caldera 3,032 Posted Monday at 11:42 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:42 AM TBH I'm surprised to hear that anyone is still using it. Wherever I go in Bangkok, I don't see any people scanning the QR codes anymore, so I stopped doing that about 1-2 months ago, too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it required for domestic flights/at airports anymore? 23 hours ago, Gumballl said: Be wary of scanning a QR code; you never know what you are scanning.

But I doubt that Thaichana would do anything on non conforming QR codes? I think I should try scanning LINE QR code with Thaichana . -> "Incorrect QR code. Please try again".

Jen65 96 Posted Monday at 02:48 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:48 PM I refuse to use this app and the AOT Airport app (which one is supposed to download as a requirement for re-entry to Thailand because it has a Covid check in it. The problem with these apps is it specifically asks for access to your personal date and files - something I am NOT prepared to do !! Beware - big brother may be tracking and watching you !! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Very little. The only permissions the Thaichana app requires is your location, and access to the camera (to capture the QR code). Unlike the Morchana app which additionally wanted access to my contacts and storage, the Thaichana app is far less intrusive. Link to post Share on other sites
