Phuket will increase the number of hotspots for free Wi-Fi Internet connection to 1,000 around the island as part of its ambition to turn the island into a “smart city”, the digital economy minister said.

The province may also develop an electronic wristband system for foreign tourists so their identity and location would be known in case of untoward incidents, said Digital Economy and Society Minister Pichet Durongkaveroj.
Boy, yeah that sounds like a real winner...
Where does Thailand find these 'spokesmen' ?
From neighbouring countries looking for tourists?? :D

Boy Howdee! So they will now install micowave towers all around the island, so all will get free Wi-Fi. And then they will be able to track all foreigners with those new electronic wrist bands, that just made the news That will be great when we get free wi-fi all around Thailand with all those micowave towers that keep popping up all around us everyday.

Think about it.
Where will they fit the electronic wristbands.
At immigration in Bangkok or would it be tourists voluntarily submitting in Phuket to having one fitted.

For your own safety????.
