The failure to synchronise a tourist tracking system is the main reason some tourists have avoided the health screening process, as happened with the Israeli tourist who left his hotel in Bangkok.
Angkana Tanetvisetkul, president of Kata Karon Hotel Association, said different authorities responsible for different applications did not work to synchronise the whole system.
“The recent case of the Israeli tourist who ran away from a Bangkok hotel should be a case study for our preventive measures,” she said.
