PM gives thumbs up for rise in Thailand's ranking in e-government development

By The Nation

 

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is pleased with the improvement in Thailand's ranking from 73rd in 2018 to 57th on the E-government Development Index.

 

Government Spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwat said.

 

The purpose of the index is to evaluate the readiness of the government’s development in the electronic field which reflects its direction in information technology.

 

The evaluation of 193 countries that are members of the United Nations is based on three factors -- online services, telecommunication structures and human capital -- and it takes place every two years.

 

Prayut has expressed his gratitude to the organisations responsible for this progress and believes that it is a result of the government’s country reform plan, Narumon said.

Really hilarious 

The newly launched "queue system" Bangkok Immigration has rolled out neither has a domain name nor TLS encryption. They basically expect you to submit your personal details over an insecure connection to some IP address. In 2020. This isn't some legacy system they forgot to upgrade, but a brand-new development. Thumbs down from me.

2020, did the registration for my kid online, with about same documents as for immigration, ONLINE, but not possible for immigration, needing the same printed documents, in double or triple... and other idiot rules on top of those
