Thailand Advances in Government Digitalization

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - The government is accelerating its efforts to streamline public services through electronic systems.

 

Puangpet Chunlaiad, a minister attached to the Office of the Prime Minister, recently convened a meeting with the Administrative Committee of the Senate. The objective was to discuss collaborations for implementing electronic public services at the local level.

 

The committee also reviewed the roles and responsibilities of the Digital Government Development Agency (Public Organization) -- DGA. A Memorandum of Understanding between related agencies was signed, aiming at providing modern, convenient, and quick public services. As a result, the DGA has developed a comprehensive service application called "Thangrath" to reduce public travel and documentation expenses.

 

Furthermore, the committee recommended strategies for continuous progress in digital governance. This is especially important in times of government transition to ensure uninterrupted service delivery. The committee proposed the development of a "Super App" to centralize various services, responding to real public needs.

 

In her remarks, Minister Puangpet thanked the committee for their guidelines to improve the administrative system. She pledged support for these initiatives, emphasizing the ultimate goal of benefitting the public by reducing red tape and costs. The aim is to align governance with public services, keeping the citizens’ best interests in mind.

No need to read past this phrase. 

 

This is what will drive me out of this country sooner, rather than later, which is a shame because I've still got plenty of years left in the honeymoon phase.

 

Will Thailand become the world's first digital gulag?  The majority of the populace is unsophisticated and poor enough to accept anything foisted upon them.

Judging by the mountain of paperwork dual copies supplied to immigration for my annual marriage visa extension it hasn't reached them yet.

The paperwork mountain in their office was truly amazing

Don't the Amphurs already have that info on their central computer system. You need the blue book to register someone new living in your property.

Looking at all the new huge buildings being constructed around the CW complex I wonder if some of them are not being built to house all the paperwork.

Ha ha, my last marriage extension required 3 different people to shuffle and check the paperwork submitted.

I trust this drive to digitize will be fully backed up by paper copies in triplicate......one copy of which will go straight in the bin............. right in front of your eyes.

Only 3, mine is 4 minimum, their 'helper' who sticks my 12 photos on A4s, the 2 lady officers, Mr. grumpy who interrogates my wife and the witness we must take along, not to mention the home visit officers, where I must yet again sign their paperwork.

Nakhon Pathom have built a new immigration office, in an area designed to eventually house all the major government complexes, labour, transport etc etc

The IO has been open for just coming up to a year..

Manned usually by only 4 officers at the main desk with a reception girl to initially check paperwork.

Behind the 4 officers is a mountain of paperwork, from the floor to a height of a standing person, at least 4 metres wide.... like the old Berlin wall.

Thailand just paying lip-service to the Globalists they sold out to, imo.

 

Actual implementation of anything here is another story.
