anyone try just deleting the app. ? whats the repercussion.?

More to the point, what actually happens to people who arrive without a phone?

No theorising please - any actual experience

 

Alternatively, what actually happens to people who arrive and just don't show a phone? Are they asked, told, threatened? Again...any actual experience please.

Seems to be something no one care about there as no one border immigration officer or ant other care about this application.

Uninstalled bugged application who eat battery of my phone (my phone stay 4 to 5 days without charge, but with this app, only 1 single day).

i arrived in the month, and they didn't ask to look at any application. I was stressed because their application doesn't works and eat a lot of battery.

But, well... they didn't ask anything with that (there is already so much papers they have to ask). Also, when i ask about this, they just turn the head far like... like they absolutely don't want to hear about that.

And... i'm very happy with that. I cleaned the memory cache of the app, then deleted it in the same evening i was arrived.

Anyway, if one day they are suddenly asking for, you would be able to try to install in live (and show how much it is bugged), just let your COE attestation and reservation number clean with your papers if you need it.

Thank you. ????Much as I thought....good idea today, forgotten about tomorrow.

In this instance I'm pleased....same as I've never installed the UK app on my phone here

I gave it a mai pen rai response and it wasn't ever mentioned again and that was 6 mos ago. I wasn't terribly concerned with it, seeing as I could shut down it's capabilities within my phone and I'm probably more capable than the individuals who developed it anyway. It was just the principle.

Or load the app and try to help the covid situation. Why does everyone feel so special that they need to be able to spread disease with impunity?

 

That is simply answered. Why only foreigner need to install this?

If it were against Corona spreads then everybody in the country must use, including Thai.

I stay in Singapore right now for working this year and everybody use the government App stay together.

Why do I trust this App and SG Government more than every else from the Thai Government? 

Singapore has a high developed Tracing culture anyway and one off the lowest crimrate in the World.

The next point is: Even with a one year non o retired Visa, holder of yellow book, Pink card and driving license and the wish to stay permanent, I will be accounted always as tourist only.

The offered 100 PR can not reach due to my Status of retired in Thailand.

How can I show salary over 3 years if I'm not allowed to work. I were willing to give my technical experience not only to younger co-worker but additional teach digital Basic knowledge in school class 8 or 9. 

 

Can say the government don't want me to live in Thailand. I should only pay and be quiet.

Not my Thailand anymore. 20 years ago it looked totally different and if I could turn back the time I would and look for caribian sea or South America. So sad
