Tourism Chaos Erupts: Hotels Back Out of Thai Government Tourism Scheme
Wonder if any of these Thailand IT rocket scientists on this project has ever seen or implemented this strategy effectively: Or have ever heard of or implemented end-user and A/B testing. Me think NOT.................. Would also be of interest to know which SDLC model (if any) they implemented, Waterfall or Agile, as it seems it was just an overall failure? From my experience, many (I should say most) government IT projects are a total failure or do not deliver on the user requirements, for many reasons, Poor Planning & Unrealistic Requirements Lack of Skilled Personnel & Expertise Bureaucratic Delays & Political Interference Legacy Systems & Integration Issues Insufficient Risk Management & Testing Vendor's Capabilities and Performance So in this case maybe all of the above .....5555 -

Advise on buying a BYD car.
I hear you BUT after a while the cheap EVs have problems - for the first year or two many of them work fine - but some fail and more do so over time (they dont pick you up in a failed ones mate). Check out all the negative Facebook stories about failed and problem MG EVs in Thailand over the last few years. You wont see much in the 'mainstream media' because the Govt heavily subsidised those EVs as a PR stunt to show they are 'eco friendly' and to meet their 'climate change' CO2 targets. I cannot say that BYD are better or worse, but I would think they are better than an MG EV. As I have said - and will say again - EVs are not 'proven' yet and until they are I am not going to risk wasting a large amount of money on buying a problem in Thailand. Plus the insurance is much higher, and the resale value is much lower. One big positive thing - the service costs are extremely low - unless the battery fails and then the service costs are huge. In appears to me that BYD have very good battery technology - the issue is whether they have the software systems to make their batteries work well and over the long term (10+ years). I have two cars right now and one is a 2010 Honda CRV which has done 150K and goes very very well - although it needs new tyres. If anything goes wrong when we are driving to Chiang Mai or Ubon or Phuket, I know there are service stations that can identify and fix things everywhere - even Mercedes has that in Thailand. Although it is 15 years old the engine works just fine - probably about 80-85% of what it was when new - I cannot say with any confidence at all that a 15 year old battery EV will have the same - the majority will have failed and been replaced by then. EVs have a long way to go, and in Thailand it is even more imperative that a car is reliable and serviceable. Driving short distances around Bangkok - an EV is a viable option there - but out in the 'boondocks' - not a chance. If it has to be an EV then for me it would be a Honda/Toyota hybrid for me.
