| Fingerprint Scan at Night Entertainment Venues |

From now on, police checks at night entertainment venues will be easier as the fingerprint scans are replacing identification cards.
This is the finger scanner, a new technology that will be used to check for those under 20 years of age entering entertainment venues.
The National Police Office has joined hands with Diageo Moet Hennessy Thailand Company to install the fingerprint scanner at various entertainment venues, which will act as a replacement for looking at patrons' identification cards.
All patrons have to do is put their right index finger on the machine and their identification card information will come up on the screen. They can then be allowed admittance to the venue if they are of age, without having to fumble with their wallets to show their identification cards.
Fingerprint scanners have been installed at 11 night entertainment venues on Thonglor Road on a trial basis for three months. Patrons have cooperated with the police and the venue by inputting their identification card information to create a database.
This database can then be accessed by night entertainment venues that have the fingerprint scan.
After the first input of information, the next time the patron shows up, a scan of their right index fingerprint will bring up their information.
The project aims to help reduce the problem of underage drinking and an additional 100 fingerprint scanner machines will be installed at night entertainment venues nationwide.
