Ceruhe Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hands down this would end up in even more paper work and paper piles and triple copies for no better reason than virtue signalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeneeds Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 when you have one department tell you they can not cancel a work permit even though you have all the correct paper work , triple checked , because it was issued in Bangkok and you are trying to cancel the permit in Korat, Then surely the lack of communication within its own department tells you that the government sector in trying to promote its self as efficient and steamlined making it easier to do business within Thailand is a delusional fantasy just because you say it is so, does not mean it is SO, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveat Emptor Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 More bribe money simplifies all public (& private) services. Maybe they'll post a tea money tariff in offices so no one wastes time haggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgeorgeallen Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 extremely frustrating to do anything in this country. i once tried for years to transfer my work permit from samui to pattay. eventually i was picked up for having the wrong address in my work permit. cops held my passport for 2 years, over 80K thb in fines and 'fees' paid to get it back. i find it hard to believe anything will change. if anything i am sure a new layer of complication will be added with this latest round of simplification.

Administrative chaos seems endemic in all primitive countries, Thailand is no different. It's never anyone's fault though, just the way it is. That's why they call it the 3rd world, because it's 3rd rate. Good job the weather's good eh? Winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramrod711 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Land office; seven public servants at the wickets dealing directly with the public, no authority to deal with anything. Four desks in second row, sorters of paperwork, no authority to do anything. Two desks in third row, stamping of paperwork, no authority to approve anything. At the apex of the triangle of ineptitude and inefficiency is the BOSS, he overlooks, approves and signs every piece of paper that passes through the office. That is why Thais must learn to delegate. x x x x x x x x x x x x x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not have a five year retirement extention. Pay 5x the annual rate and reduce the workload (and pita factor) by 4x or is that too private sector minded?

Pay 5x the annual rate and reduce the workload (and pita factor) by 4x or is that too private sector minded? my guess is that they like to remind us every year that we are guests in thailand. even 2 year visas would be a vast improvement, i would even be willing to pay 3 times the amount to save going through the hassle.

Winniedapu Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'm not sure Tha Government Services need to be any more simple. It seems to me that many or most most are simple-minded already. Winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhream Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 So they'll put an ATM inside the offices for more convenience in paying the bribes? Yes and then you can skim someone elses account to top up your retirement funds too. A true one stop shop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
