About ThaiGov.co

The problem we are trying to fix

Thailand’s government online services exist, and many work better than people expect — yet citizens routinely cannot find them. Two problems overlap. The first is naming: nobody types the formal system name into a search box. They type “check my electricity bill” or “renew road tax”.

The second problem is more serious: a number of government sites block search engines themselves. Some declare in robots.txt that no page may be crawled; others configure their servers to refuse Google’s crawler with a 403. The result is public information — disclosure that the law requires — which in practice cannot be found.

What ThaiGov.co does

• Explains each government service in the words people actually use, in both Thai and English.
• Audits each site’s robots.txt and its response to search-engine crawlers, and reports the result plainly.
• Sends people directly to the agency’s own official website, with no intermediary in between.
• Publishes its source code and audit method openly, so anyone can reproduce the checks.

What ThaiGov.co does not do

How we audit

We request each domain’s robots.txt directly and read the rules in its `User-agent: *` group, checking for a `Disallow: /` line. We then re-test the homepage and robots.txt using Googlebot’s user-agent, to separate sites that merely block generic bots from those that genuinely block Google.

Each result is recorded with its date and the actual response received, and shown on that service’s page. We do not speak for the agency or ascribe intent to the block — in many cases it is a side effect of a security configuration rather than a decision to hide anything.
