Tanoshi Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just clicked on Immigrations website to find it's completely changed. Scrolling through a few pages, I find lots of poor English grammar and spelling errors. Forms for download are all in Thai text. When did the format change?

lopburi3 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Are you sure - using your link - for item 14 Chrome translates to English as below and translation of click provides the second quote with a full list of documents (but non O visa - not B). Quote Request and change the type of visa - for investment of not less than 10 million Below is interesting - guess the tech crew a bit behind times.

lopburi3 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 First post mentioned all in Thai so did not check close enough - my display of site was enlarged so did not show the Eng option (only a menu icon at top left side - and if you click that there is a sub menu after the Thai word for Thai that would select English). Seem to be almost totally different pages, normal for Thai sites, rather than direct translation. But much better if not overly enlarged. Bangkok immigration site appears unchanged.

Tanoshi Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 I went to the 'downloads' for forms. (above the calendar) All listed in Thai. What benefit does registering as a member provide. Some great grammar and typo errors in the register box. I'll need to spend some time playing with the site to acquaint myself. Really surprised nobody mention this before if it changed two weeks ago, although I'm sure it was still directing to the old site last week. Yes I did notice it was https secure site Joe.

Last week I'm sure it directed me to the old site as I download a form. Today it just took me straight to the new site. Have you found the link for online 90 day reports yet? This will confuse a lot of people. I think you could have your hands full in the coming weeks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bookmark was for the main page of the old site.

Oxx Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Another brilliant example of Immigration using obsolete technology. The site is built with Bower - and even Bower doesn't want you to use it. The Bower website says "we recommend yarn and webpack for new front-end projects!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Here's an idea for the head honchos of the Suan plu, offer a visa hassle free deal to a foreign webmaster in exchange for them to once and for all build and maintain website that works for all and for all the time, I'm sure somebody will agree for and there will be winners all around... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf12 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If you look at the top of the web site you can select Thai or English. Maybe worth giving it a try? The 90 day section (located 2nd from the top of the list on the left hand side) has not been translated agreed but the rest seems reasonable. Question, why would they need to have anything on the Immigration web site in Thai? From what I have seen nothing on the site is relevant to Thai's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 nasa 123, before criticizing them , do your own proof reading. I agree that their English skills should be better but as I have said for years if understood what they are saying then the communique has served it's purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most migrants by far are from Myanmar, so perhaps Burmese? Followed by Lao, Cambodia (Khmer), China (various languages) and Nepal. Probably best to have it in all these languages. English, however, not so much a priority. Source: https://esa.un.org/miggmgprofiles/indicators/files/Thailand.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
