My experience of Thai companies and institutions is exactly the same as the little girl. I brought a team of 150 Iraqi managers and trainers to Bangkok to be trained at the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida) by the Electricity Generating Public Company (EGCO) and the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA). MEA did a very good job on the practical training. EGCO did an excellent job, even raising their training level to meet the needs of “the Golden Group”. Nida proved to be an excellent educator on the international scene. The only sad note is that they did such a good job training the trainers that these Iraqis are unlikely to need their services again.
Congratulations to Nida on its 47th anniversary. Keep up the excellent work.
