it is pointing a plain and continual fact that Thailand underperforms and doesn't plan in advance. I truly wish it would and I live in hope.

 

But the article didn't mention it was other nationalities did it, so no point arguing just what was written. unless you can refute it with some more information.

 

This is a continual problem in Thailand and I would hardly call a day or two at Heathrow the same. I am not Thai bashing just pointing the  obvious, from anyone who uses the airports here regularly, as I do that the performance is sub standard and slow compared to other Asian countries. As for Europe the immigration counters are in a different league.

You think that under performing and failing to plan in advance is unique to Thailand but you not consider it Thai bashing, so what does?

I have been coming in and out of Thailand several times a year for about 20 years and certainly do not see what you consider to be obvious, but then there are those that will see fault in anything.

 

I can only assume that this piece of text from the article went over your head.

 

"But, following a series of terror attacks across the Continent, each passenger from a country outside the Schengen area – a zone where passport control has been abolished – must be checked against a database."

Amazing how they can suddenly find 200 officers.

So what were they all doing before? Sleeping/ playing on their phones maybe.

Probably all the cops at inactive posts, whatever that means.  There should be thousands by now because they apparently can't be fired

It is called the truth. Thai bashing is complaining and being derogatory about Thailand for unjustified reasons. You carry on and believe that it is bashing. Many will disagree. I want things to improve but for many reasons I can't post here things continue to be the same or even get worse.

Not really sure of your point.

 

The company I worked for was a well recognised international management consulting company (engaged by companies / government agencies to suggest changes to organizational set-up, organizational efficiencies, benchmark business practices, especially in regard to organization / leadership behaviors which generate motivation and commitment, innovation, etc., all research based).

 

The company is not an executive or employee headhunter, job placement agency etc., in fact my old company does not engage in this subject at all.

 

It is true that it's difficult to challenge the points / the scenario I listed earlier. And even more difficult when it's become the standard, accepted and unchallenged working culture for a long time and even worse where currrent CEOs and senior management who have risen to the top within this culture and often can't see there is anything wrong.

 

Further all governments attract  a solid % of employees who want job security and a pension and no responsibility. These folks will never challenge anything, that's their choice which they are entitled to. But some do get automatic promotions and get to the top, but basically with unchanged attitudes, they never analyze anything, so improvement and change never happens.

 

On the other side of the coin it can sometimes be difficult to keep young achievement oriented well educated consultants within management consultancies when they realize that the client is locked in the past and nothing will ever change. Some move on hoping to work on projects with a different type of client where there are clear valuable results.   

Perhaps  your  last  paragraph identifies  the  nub  of  my  comment.  :)

Picking out one country over something that is common to many is unjustified but if it makes you feel better.

Look the thread started as the Thai authorities have admitted that they needed more officers due to the long queues. This is a Thai visa forum so commenting on Thailand and Thai issues are going to be the norm. Comparing with other like countries is also acceptable. It would seem you don't like clear facts pointing out. Immigration at both airports in Bangkok, are poorly manned and have poor performance. My last reply to you on the matter.

You missed out the word 'negative' between 'so' and 'commenting'.
