Thai Chana
Thai Chana (, ; ) is an online registration system and closed database for public establishments to record their visitors as a government's plan to combat COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. The database is available only to the Ministry of Public Health's Department of Disease Control in order to track, trace and restrict the visitors who may later be infected. Development 

Thai Chana was developed by Krungthai Bank and Digital Government Development Agency and was launched for public on 17 May 2020, following an order to reopen department stores after 2-month lockdown. Every enterprises are obliged to have their visitors "check-in" to the Thai Chana system upon arrival and "check-out" upon departure. As of February 2020, the system is available on its website and its Android mobile application. On its first day of operation, the system was deployed by more than 44,000 stores and was checked-in by more than 2 million users. According to the official statement, goal of the system is to "determine the crowdedness of the given business location, so that the business owner can manage the visitors' admission" and to "trace the visitors [in case got infected] and track down those with close contact to them based on their check-ins". However, many found that these goals have never been implemented throughout the pandemic. Criticisms

The system has been criticised for collecting certain aspects of users' private information that are deemed irreverent to the track-and-trace scheme and unnecessarily violating citizens' online privacy. Privacy
Poramet Minsiri, founder of  told BBC Thai that Thai Chana has made him realise that "[Thai] citizens' rights are so light". He further criticised the unnecessary collection of users' real-time location, amongst others, as a violation of online privacy. Human rights academics Sarueni Achawananthakun criticised its lack of transparency on data collection. She further questioned the extent of involvement of Krungthai Bank given its for-profit status.
