Thailand Begins Issuing Digital IDs Via App To Use Public Services And Banking

Traisuree Taisarakul, a deputy government spokeswoman, explained that the new ID will apply to agencies under the Internal Affairs Ministry first, and then it will expand to other services like commercial banking.

Those wanting to register will need to use their physical IDs at first at their district’s office registry to gain access to the new app called D.Dopa. According to the Google Play Store it already has over 100,000 downloads.

We will open for online registration later when the system is stable.

Taisarakul said

The Bangkok Post explains that this move mostly follows the guidance of Section 14 of the Digital Public Service Act, with the focus on using digital documentation and physical paperwork.

The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) says digital IDs ‘promises to be safer’ than using the SMART ID card because stealing the data will become more difficult. Furthermore, the DES, via the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA), launched the first phase of digital ID procurement from 2022 going into 2024 to ‘encourage the use of digital ID cards.’

The DES says that at least 10 million people plan to replace their physical ID with a digital one this year.

This announcement comes at the same time Thailand announced that they will require travelers come to and from China to present a Covid-19 vaccine passport.

Last year The WinePress reported that Thailand also planned to trial their own central bank digital currency (CBDC).

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Ah, so now we see why Thailand mandated a Covid-19 vaccine passport for travelers to China: it has nothing to do with Covid, but everything with pushing the digital trap.

Give it a little more time and the government’s app will then allow citizens to store their vaccine passports on there, including a digital wallet to store their CBDCs; retroactively monitored by a social credit score…

Again, as I have been warning, 2023 will be a year FILLED with digital IDs, CBDCs, and social credit scores; so you must be on your guard, and continue to pay with cash as much as you can.

For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

Jeremiah 5:26

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
