The queue online system is probably not meant for CNX

Not sure what that means but this is the first I've read of any significant issues using the online queue system in Chiang Mai (CNX) and I pretty much read all of them. And that is over about a 2 year period. I would just say it was a bad hair day unless I start reading more like this and see a trend starting.

I used the queue last March 2014 and I had a similar problem. Booking queue just after lunch ( 13h00 ). At 13h00 I went to the 2 guys standing at information to let them know I was there. Was told to sit; never looked at my name on the booking copy. The 2 officers doing retirement ( one male one female) came in and instead of calling my name started with customer from the room queue.

I waited and after 20 minutes they called another local queue. Went again this time directly to the officers and asked them about the queue. They say they were busy and go back wait. Between 13h00 and 13h45 they did not call anybody by name for the extension online queue. I guess some other people were also waiting....

I again went to the counter and told the guy I was going to stand there near the counter and wait until they call my name..... A little after 14h00 they took be in the back behing the walled section and another officer did my extension in less than 10 minutes.no questions, no comments.

I agree with the original poster that the online queue has some problems. The list should be on the information desk and they shoukd note our name and advise the extension officer that the customer is there. Mine was retirement , I do not know if the other extension officers ( business, marriage etc,,,,) are more professional with usage of the online queue.

Finally, I can add last year in March 2012, I also had online queue problems and had to wait more that 30 minutes after the online booking. I saw one of the officer serving 2 ladies customers that broke the lines, possibly agents because they went in without number called. The other was serving local queue.

I am glad that some people have no problems but the system needs improvement....

Yeap, those agents are probably a cause. Maybe we will have to pay ........

Sorry then, it was on your own forum.

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/630324-immigration-online-queue-appointment-system-is-a-joke/

Yes and I forgot to mention in my OP that I understand that the workload is pretty high and that Imm people normally stay pretty nice and smiling under these circumstances. Respect. I'd probably already quit the job.

This guy at the info desk, however,is a slick guy, speaks very well English and keeps the yim up.

But FCOL, sitting there and redressing his hair, talking way tooo long on the phone when there are customers and also making selfies. And we are supposed to behave and dress properly.

Just a story what happened this afternoon at immigration.

I booked a reservation for spouse visa extension of stay same as I did last year.

Wasn't aware (even last year ) about some posts already circulating on Thaivisa.

Last year I wasn't sure what was going on, first time, but had a feeling Imm wasn't aware of any appointment.

So when the inspector (desk 3) was idle after helping a couple, (already overdue), I took my chance and slipped in.

She said she 'knew' and we were up first. Okay, piece a cake and out in half an hour, the lady was nice;.but, had it really been our turn?

This year however we came in at 13:15 and 15 mins befor our appointment. The two counters 4 and 5 were not yet at work. Can happen as they might have gone for lunch later as well.

Then the first couples were invited. Desk 4 through the display counter and desk 3 without any announcement.

Okay, first couple probably had the earlier appointment after lunch, so we waited. That took one hour and meanwhile desk 4 went on by the item counter.

But we weren't next at counter 3, not at 4 and not next and not at all.

Tried to get the information counter to tell us when it would be our turn.

Wait in the queue, please was all we got. They didn't even look at the queue printout.

We tried some more Imm people and all we got was: wait please, very busy.

Well, in all my 8 years going to Imm it never was as quiet on a monday as today.

So we got a bit irritated and so was the Imm to my wife as she went in for another try at desk 4 this time.

16:30 already and if my wife hadn't got in a bit angry, we would still sit there so to say.

The lady at counter 3 took us in all unexpected and lady 4 was about to go home.

Another couple was standing at the info counter and looked quite deperate. I believe they had the same experience as we. They were at first just left there standing at the info desk as the kiddo's had other plans for the rest of the day.

Imagine, nobody helped the couple till finally lady 4 took her responsability and asked the couple what they wanted. Short story, they needed an extension of stay as well and had also booked on the queue online.

Besides there was another fellow that waited almost as long as we did and he didn't get it either.

Some small talk from Imm was that they already helped some online queuers. What? It is their idea and system!

There were no calls thru the PA system.

There was insufficient attention by all Imm peole asked.

The queue online system is probably not meant for CNX.

They distribute probably to many queue numbers in the early morning and get into trouble later on.

The people handing out the queue numbers ought to be aware of the number of online queuers.

Why was desk 3 not operating by the item counter and were names called very silently, not over the PA.

Story might be incomplete, but maybe other members have had same problems.

Use the queue system and be bold enough to get your 'rights', or just be a sheep and queue in the line at 07:00 to get your number and come back later?

Cheers.

Recently got Tramadol prescribed after a kidney colic.

Says 'Tramal Paindol' on the package. 50 mg. for severe pain.

Didn't need them sofar. Lucky me.

Sorry folks, I am out of this session. Have other things to do.

What option has this General got. if he goes this way or that way, he is going to have people that will not agree, BUT as I say what option has he got after the last 8 years we have all had here in Thailand. Reds don't want,,, Yellow don't want,,,, Lets see how it goes with him, doing what he is doing, I do hope it is for the right reason for the Thai people as well as us all. Only time will tell BUT we need to give it time to know if for all or not. When someone is put in a corner they have to fight hard to get out and I see that is what he is having to do.

Genearal P is a manager by exception. When he saw that his 'company' was going the wrong way, he had to intervene.

Take this in a relative way please.

BREAKING:

General Prayuth replaces police chief, DSI chief, and defence permanent secretary, dissolves the Senate and takes over parliamentary authority.

These people who come from Western democracies but are happy with the military coup and its repression are the biggest hypocrites of all.

It is astonishing to see such hypocrisy displayed. I truly hope they are just posting to wind people up, but I fear some of them might believe in what they're posting.

I see that Thai journalists are now being ordered to report to the junta. Such a sad time for Thailand.

As if journalists own the world? Many times they need to get their mouthes washed. Can take it personally if you want.

I was here in 2006 and by comparison this time it seems far more sinister. I'm starting to get a bit worried.

Don't worry. In 2006 the army woke me up to early. Hated that. Now the army came in softly, but more harsh than in 2006.

what is worse is this is Asia's second biggest economy. During the PTP years the car makers, the largest swag of the economy decided to,leave Thailand. No one can afford that loss.

So Thailand will become a true failed state shortly thereafter

Marcusd. Via tapatalk

No they didn't. More car makers came to Thailand and as a result Thailand has had record years in Auto Manufacturer. The only lapse came because of the floods.

........And the floods happened because the Red shirted Drivers to the Planes asigned to "Seed the Fields" thought the message was for them not the rice Farmers and they "Over Seeded" the Clouds filling the Res. Overflowing along with the normal rain filled the riers and started the flooding! Causing as one result the Laps and losses for the Auto Industry here.

All because A red shirted Individual wanted to get paid!!

Visionairs on both sides. Point is the ones who are in charge don;t give a damn about the canon fodder, be it in Thailand or where ever in this 'beautiful' world.

The people in power (read money) screw your balls. Sorry ladies.

There is real opposition on the streets, personally witnessed. Despite their armoured cars and tanks and guns, they may not be able to take away our sons this time. Could this be one coup too many. I pray for peace with justice.

Opposition by students as if they know what is best for the country. Make me smile.

So tell us genius who knows what the country needs. I wish you faced these students and told them your opinion.

You obviously have no historic adducation. Students are students, rebellious and like to stand up against anything they don;t like.

Go to the library back again and again.

Go to sleep as it is already late in Aussie land. (insider joke)

Gen P. Is going to pass new laws to get rid of this red shirt scum once and for all. Celebrate!

Yes, let's also get rid of the dark skinned people, and the disabled, and the dwarfs, and the muslims, and the farangs, Anyone who does not agree with us, look like us, think like us...lets kick them out…!

Including you, that is?

I have a feeling that there is much more to this coup, and today's consolidation of power, than we are being told.

@LuukKoeyKorate: yes

I had a Thai trying to explain it to me today, behind closed doors (no, not a dark room ), the rumors that Thais whisper in private.

It was getting so outrageous, I had to stop him half way.

Needless to say, I cannot repeat it (and I also don't believe it), but let's just say it has been

many years leading up to this, and YL and Suthep are not the only ones taking orders.

The 'story' got outrageous at one point (which I won't repeat, it would be the biggest scandal this world has ever seen), but even more outrageous when

the missing MH 370 was brought into play

This person did have one thing right: a foreigner can never really understand what is truly behind what has been happening

the last 6 months. What we see are just excuses given to hide the real power struggle.

What's amazing is, most Thais know it but will not speak of it.

Having nightmare's all the time?

It is up to the Thais to revolt/resist/riseup to a military dictatorship who are a bunch of hooligans removing a democratic constitution. Obviously the government and opposition could not solve their problems but the military has never resolved problems in Thailand ...but only make them worse. Before stupid people ruled Thailand....now awfully stupid rule the country believing they are God. These army generals should all be hanged for treason. Thailand rise up and fight for true democracy.

Now who is a funamentalist?

Where are the Suthep fans now?

Come see me; wanna beer?

Franco governed for 36 years in Spain.

Ending when he died in 1975

Meanwhile the opposing team became educated.

It wont matter what this General does.

It doesn't matter how long it takes.

History shows us, that one day in the future the ''people '' always win!

'' Power concedes nothing without a demand.

It never did and it never will.''

''Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.''

When Hugo Shavez was the 'dictator' of Venezuela, the people were happy. The CIA was not amused. After Chavez died now see what that country has come to. Sometimes a soft dictator (army) is better for Thailand than a dictator government.

I have a feeling that there is much more to this coup, and today's consolidation of power, than we are being told.

and you are surprised you weren't informed beforehand because....?.........

A#$ answer if you ask me

PDRC, TV anti-Thaksinistas, Suthepistas and Yellows wanted reforms, out with YS, block elections and abolish the government, senators, the house et al.

You clamored, ranted and wished it:. There you have it and then some.

Are you guys happy now?

Yes!

There is real opposition on the streets, personally witnessed. Despite their armoured cars and tanks and guns, they may not be able to take away our sons this time. Could this be one coup too many. I pray for peace with justice.

Opposition by students as if they know what is best for the country. Make me smile.

Hmmm. Not many on here defending the coup now are there?

If the army is a so called dictator, I'd rather have this soft dictator instead of the stealing mob that was called government.

Wow, the guy is really showing his colors, ain't he? A dictator of his ilk won't stand much longer for a free flow of information on the internet. I'm afraid our days are numbered.

They didn't cut it last time. Too much stuff depends on it these days, I suppose.

This coup has few similarities to "last time."

People, good or bas, operate by a certain pattern, modus operandi.

Look at what the illuminati killers do all the time. Same pattern.

This one caught me by surprise -- it looked as though he was going to let it stand since a large number of them were appointed by the right people. I guess he wants people that do exactly what he says. Lets see if he has them report and locks the senators up. Don't like coups at all - but if he actually cracks down on all corruption equally I would change my mind.

Cracking down on all corruption?

How does one become a general in Thailand?

Any proof?

Wow, the guy is really showing his colors, ain't he? A dictator of his ilk won't stand much longer for a free flow of information and public expression of opinion on the internet. But I guess that would come after the shuttering of the judicial branch of gov't.? I'm afraid our days are numbered.

Y're dumb

I think the person who bought this system got framed big time.

And now you have the heritage.

Good luck with it.
