"The Immigration Police have launched a project in Phuket that will eventually allow hotels and homeowners all over Thailand to report required data about their guests via the Internet.
The project is intended to help combat terrorism and monitor the movements of suspicious foreigners visiting Thailand.
Following refinement of the pilot project in Phuket, the system will then be launched in Chiang Mai. It is expected to be implemented nationwide some time next year.
The underlying database will also be linked to intelligence networks overseas."
