Bit odd questions more for to write later an article how foreigner think about Thailand, wonder why they want your email

[ronnie666]

I did like the questions: do you think that Thais are trustworthy? And do you think Thais have a good education level?

I'm happy they actually put out a survey and they deserve credit for that, but it was clearly structured to hear what they want to hear.

Perceived Image of Thailand.

When you go to the PRD website where the survey is, how come the 'Next" button is only in Thai  -  ถัดไป    

I didn't even bother to look at the questions. I'm sure there isn't one asking how much common sense Thai web designers have.

The questionnaire about Thailand claims that all responses are completely confidential, though it does seem to require an email address to submit the survey.

That website will get hacked within a week and your email address will be used by visa agencies to spam you.

You missed questions like:

Thailand is a country that promotes democracy.
Thai people are hard working.
Thai people have a good level of education.

Finally you have the chance to give your opinion and you let it go?

I think I'll leave this well alone!

They really wouldn't want to hear my views.

In English for me. NEXT.

They answered most of their own questions with the ineptitude of this survey... am interested to see how they interpret the responses

[Pompies]

Nothing but a naive attempt to gather data that purports to represent the feelings of Dirty Farangs. You can bet your life that every family member of the Cabinet, the government and all the paper pushers who depend on the government for their pay will fill in glowing responses to the questions. It is dead in the water as a believable survey & I for one ain't giving my email address to anyone connected with the faux government.

Would be great if one question was what exactly do you moaning piss poor forum expats need to stop you spending 95% of your life whining like a sulking 9 year old

Intriguing... of 14 posts on this topic, 3 of them are yours, all moaning about expats moaning. I am not the last one to give my opinion (that does not mean moaning) on the political regime here or decisions / actions from authorities, however I personally love Thailand (not all of it like I do not like all of any country) and Thai people (not all of them like I do not like all people from any country) and I do not really like etiher the constant bashing I regularly read on this forum. But how posts moaning about people moaning are better and certainly not the same waste of time? I ignore them, perhaps you should try that. But for a change, with this post I am moaning about people moaning about other people moaning... nope, it does not make feel better....won't do it again.

The questionnaire about Thailand claims that all responses are completely confidential, though it does seem to require an email address to submit the survey.

That claim is valid from the perspective of the survey customer: the request for an e-mail address is one made by Google (as claimed by Google: "in order to support automatic saves", and it was made mandatory in 2021 even though not everyone values auto-saving and even though there are technical alternatives that are anonymous -- in a nut-shell, it's "just" Google doing the thing it's been doing for the past 1-2 decades).

I finished the questionnaire just to make sure the customer (PR section of Thai government) didn't sneak in its own question about an e-mail address. It didn't (good!)

PS: every question gave me troubles answering it. A simple example: when asked about accuracy of news outputs (in one question) and their reliability (in another question) , should I base my answer on what most people (probably including the customer) think those terms mean, or on what they actually mean? To keep things simple, I'll put it in a much oversimplified nutshell: all news is (very) reliably (very) inaccurate.
