Bangkok is now a watch city
Bangkok – Unthinkable in Germany, there is no problem in the capital of Thailand: the city government of Bangkok now has a problem Site And a matching app (not available in Germany) has been activated, with which you can control more than 200 surveillance cameras! Now anyone who wants can see what is happening around the clock, in almost every corner of the city …
Officially, he says: “This platform is designed for the convenience of people so that they can view map information such as traffic, floods, and accidents.”
Privacy? Not a word was said about this. However, residents and tourists had to live with the cameras being there for a long time anyway.

What’s new, however, is that employers and relatives can now see (for free and around the clock) whether you’re actually staying home sick or not – if the apartment is in a dense network of cameras.

After all, awkward corners are not visible: many corners of the city’s red light have been left out. For example, places like Patpong or the infamous Soi Cowboy were not filmed. Probably because prostitution is actually illegal in Thailand, so it doesn’t officially exist anyway…
BILD searched a few of the most famous corners of the Thai capital and found these cameras. (rr t)
