Still in Beta. Vendor (probably somebody's nephew) having problems, requested a 4-month delay, hashing out penalties.

2.1 Billion baht budget, for 2,000 scanners, all intl airports, land crossings, ports.

Plan 100% install by July 1, 2019.

On the plus side, easier to plant Burmese fingerprints to "solve" crimes.


Seems similar to what I've seen/used in SIN, HKG, APC/GE in the U.S?


Of note, many condos are installing fingerprint readers in the lobby to restrict short-term rentals (AirBnB).

And some condos are posting lists of foreigners, with name and apt. # on each floor to assist police in sweeps.
