Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2022 I have, over the last two days had the "pleasure"(?) of attempting to use two websites, one run by Lazada ( not their sales website) and one by Krung Thai Bank. Neither works properly. The Lazada site is virtually unreadable, and keeps insisting that it can not complete any function because the "parama" is wrong, whatever a "parama" is. I enquired of customer service, they replied with some unintelligible gibberish about money laundering! The KTB NetBank site has not been able to provide me with a statement for over a week now, when you enter the date range the boxes reset to "Na-Na-Na"! Krung Thai helpline ( normally unavailable) advised me to use their app. I downloaded it, of course it doesn't work - it asks for my passport number then refuses to accept it. How does this country expect to remain vaguely competitive if their IT is such a consistent shambles? 1 3 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fusion58 Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2022 It’s what I call an “imposter society,” i.e., one whose system of education doesn’t really educate anyone. Consequently, you have a workforce populated by people who are simply pretending to be qualified to do their jobs and who must constantly work to conceal their lack of knowledge. It’s no wonder all the hi-sos send their children abroad to be educated. 7 1 11 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Fugitive Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2022 Problems with websites and mobile apps are not confined to Thailand of course. It's a question of priorities. Where I am we get water, electricity and internet 'upon demand' i.e. no waiting for the 'hours of availability' as in some Countries. Interruptions in supply are rare and speedily restored. All roads are either tarmac or concrete. I've never been marooned and/or unable to travel anywhere because it's rained/raining. We enjoy weekly refuse collections at home and daily collections at my wife's shop. Where I previously lived some local Council's didn't provide a refuse collection service. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post digbeth Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2022 don't rely on translate function on your web browser, if a site is in Thai only with no option to change to English, it's probably not meant for us, and attempting to do so via translate function would only run into problems 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazada made me trouble at the login (name/password) requiring captchas, unlock with code via mail that never arrived (might be the mail provider bouncing anything from Thailand). In the end I gave up and created a new account based on my mobile nr. and a Gmail account. Works Ok since then. 1 hour ago, herfiehandbag said: one run by Lazada ( not their sales website) Not their sales? But?

Heng Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Pretty happy with the Lazada app. Glad many things here only 'kind of' work (like the 'kind of' revenue department????). Things are 'getting better' though, put in a complaint on the electric company (MEA) website a few weeks ago -not really expecting any results- that a repair team had left (presumably non live) wires brushing up against my house... 8am the next day there was a team out there fixing it, I was like WTH, this might have taken months or a year back in the good ol' day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2022 The OP seems to have no problem posting his grievance on ASEAN. Actually, I am faced with the situation in reverse. iHerb in the US has lost my business because some bean counter has decided it's a good idea to scrap the call center where I could talk to a human being about my current problem with all their products appearing in Thai on their website. Lazada has taken over, selling the same products in English on their website. I have never had a problem with Lazada, buy plenty of stuff through them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2022 Amazes me that people automatically jump to "its their fault" something wrong with them etc, and not probably just simple user error or a lost in translation issue.This is Thailand not all things are geared or even written to be compatible with English and its foreign users. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
