Popular Post Oldie Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 I use an old small Nokia that fits into my trousers pocket when I am outside. So no way to use the app. Only alternative is to write your name and phone number on this dirty piece of paper with a dirty pen. In the end you can write there what you want. But does all this make really sense? Let's assume I have be in the Terminal 21 in Pattaya and I got Covid somewhere - and I am there often. Do they now invite all others that have been there at the same time for checks and quarantines? And how about the people I met on the Baht Busses that I needed to get there? From my perspective a completely useless approach... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I did buy a mobile phone, and use the app, it would show I had never left my home. (assuming if I were to leave my home, I'd take the phone with the app with me) Bring only the app that is enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone gets Covid & then goes to many places, they can then trace back your steps to prevent it from spreading and potentially savings lives. Certainly worth it for such a low cost and a small inconvenience! Please buy one for me and each one of my thai friends who can't afford one. That'll be about 50. Hope it's not too much of an inconvenience to you. 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know? When will it finish? Once they download all of your personal data, what do they do with it? Wherever you leave your app - that's your home. (Apologies to Marvin Gaye.) There isnt any personal data, you dont give your name or any personal details when you install the app. You enter if you have a fever or dont feel well etc, but otherwise you no personal data. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MadMac Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 This just shows how completely helpless they are. The times they could push cases under the rug like last year and shine are over. Now they don't know what to do at all. Sure, there are these from reality disconnected "experts" who think they can solve all and everything with "Apps", not the first time we saw this.

Nout Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I downloaded the app months ago. I use it albeit in a limited way because after I have scanned the bar code I don't really know what to do.

What happens in the case of not having an Internet connection on my phone? I use wifi for Internet on my phone at home. I am in the same boat as you, however my reading into this tells me (If I am reading it correctly) that it is for those in the high risk areas: "Members of the public, particularly those residing in high risk areas now need to download the Mor Chana or Thai Chana contact tracing app, Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokesperson Dr Thaweesin Visanuyothin announced on Thursday". So once they say everyone has to download the app as it has been passed into legislation, I will sit on the fence, hardly go anywhere anyway, or get out of the car, that said, when the time comes, will tell the wife to turn her blue tooth on and I will get my internet off of her mobile while we are out and about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'They'?..'Helpless'..If anything this thread shows how unhelpful and uncooperative many foreigners are, mainly British, American and Australian. The one redeeming factor is that these people, who demonstrate Anti Social Behavior Disorder are not actually here in Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT The ThaiChana link in the OP appears to be for registration of a store, the App itself is in the Android and iOS playstores. MorChana only asked for my picture and my phone number. I feel cheated. Can I complain to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
