The official website isn't very good, many people can't get it to work.

If you are from a country that needs a visa in this case, as much as I normally avoid doing so, I recommend using an agent. They cost 20-25 USD.

... & then they act surprised when a tiny number of foreigners act out in frustration at the constant scams & racism on the odd occasion then propagandize using such odd occasions to further justify underhanded treatment..! :/

Imagine what a paradise it would be without all of the wasteful corruption destroying efficiency & development...

Do you think you're in Buckingham palace?

Age doesn't always denote wisdom. There's a balance between being too cynical & wearing rose colored glasses as both are misguided. There's good & bad, so just roll with it.

It should be pretty obvious that the majority of natives in the region have a low IQ. I could see that easily in my first day here. The evidence is everywhere.

Yes, IQ testing measures certain types of intelligence. It is accurate in what it measures.

I know a number of professional Thais who are very competent who acknowledge this difficult issue for the country.

From what I've seen, a lot of the ruling class of Thais look down on the rest of their citizens & use general low IQ as a justification for nepotism, corruption, etc... which really holds the country back as obviously not all poor or middle class Thais have low IQ, & not all ruling class Thais have high IQ.

That's not what I was talking about. You seem to be new to the region.

Obviously you don't even know what IQ is.

The Thailand government recently complained about low IQ in Thailand. IQ has been tested globally for many decades now & the results are available online. Google is your friend.

You show your intelligence level by mentioning that there are intelligent people in Thailand as if saying you know a tall Thai & therefore it disproves that most Thais are short compared to most of the global population. Nobody has said that there are no intelligent people in Thailand, & you show your misunderstanding of the fact that IQ in a country is a general average, not that each person has that IQ exactly. The average IQ is low in Thailand though. It's just the way it is. It helps to improve things when you are honest & I would hope all people here wish the best for Thailand & Thai people. Would you hate your brother if he had a lower IQ than you? Pretty odd you cry "racism". If anything I respect those decent Thai people who are intelligent & honest with the challenging work they have to lift up their people to a better life.

In the West the decent intelligent people have obviously failed. Western governments definitely don't care one bit about their own people.

It's well known. Pretty obvious to anybody not new in the region too.

Google it...
