Mobile phone tracking proposal information already available

The articles all quite similar, leave too many unanswered questions.

Information can already be retrieved with a court order.  Every sim card requires registration in Thailand. Foreigners who purchase a Thai sim card must present their passports for registration.

Further data already accessible is the hotel registration reporting.
Many tourists carry no phones, others are using telephones registered to a Thai national.

A sim card which can not be disabled by removing the power source, that would be a trick

Sakon Nakhon FC 2, Mahasarakham 2

So I was wrong thinking it was going to be a no drink ballgame.  Beer sales were prohibited, but you were allowed to bring your own.    I decided to sit on the other side.  No roof to protection from the sun or rain.  I just did not wish to be anywhere near those league official black suits.  Heaven forbid he might call the whole infantry out for whistling a cheer (Esarn Football Dictators in black suits).    It had rained hours before the game and the walk around the field was a dangerous slip and slide. Some of it quicksand like.  When I arrived on the other side, the cheering section welcomed me with cheers and applause.  That was a pleasant moment.    The first half of the game, a cloth on my head, I was soaking wet from my own sweat. Then light clouds covered the sun, a strong, cool wind. My sweaty t-shirt felt like a pleasant ice pack.  Then the heavy rains began. I had brought a raincoat and plastic bags to keep my camera dry. For the moment Sakon FC remains in 8th place of 14 teams. A Khon Kaen vs Roi Et game was not played. I'm speculating a weather postponement.
