Thailand a hub for ICT? No, really...

[ThaiUser]

Well Thailand (read Bangkok) has 4G trial network now but it's made by farang. It's arrogant to think of Thailand being any hub (except for go-go stuff).

Medical hub? We went to an official "doctor" on Samui, he recommended to be infused for 3 hours with minerals. Then he opened the door from his garage where a chair was standing next to a motorbike and there he wanted to infuse a farang for 3 hours, right next to the binbags and the motorcycle! Then we went back into his condomshop (sorry but that's what it was) and politely told him we would go to the real hospital or even fly back to BKK.

We know several highly educated thai chirurgians who can't speak english (they are our family) but work in the top hospitals.

Also we know loads of IT and ICT pro's but they even can't install software on their iphone or use it. Gaming and Line goes well though.

I won't complaint though because we have work here but come on, Thailand a hub of anything serious? Solly krab, need study more and stop the maibenrai mentality.

We don't buy anything made in thailand, not because we are racists but because it is low quality and poorly developed. Better pay 3-5-10 times more and get a quality product/service from abroad. Also the Thai dare to ask the same (or even higher) prices then abroad, very funny.

If your statements are true the IT expert in Australia must have been wrong or very kind to us, trying not to offend us, after evaluating our ideas about an encryption package we developed.

Here is what he had to say:

I'm not complaining - it's very good. I can't see any weaknesses at all.

Yup , of course they won't offend a customer. When he 's home speaking to his collegues he will tell the truth to them.

Actually the conversation started on a public forum an online magazine that mainly attracts scientists, which developed into a private email exchange. Another point is that we are not customers nor is the university our customer.

The evaluation was done because in the field of encryption you put your ideas and conclusions in front of your peers to find out if the results achieved will stand scrutiny when evaluated by experts in the field (we also had mathematic professors in Europe and Canada checking our ideas – might come as a surprise to you, but they came to the same conclusions).

Your reply only shows how shallow your thoughts are and that without knowledge of the subject you have a predefined opinion.

Science requires that you always check your results and question them because without it one becomes someone like you; incapable of considering that one is wrong.

If you have a website or some technical information, I would be very interested.
