All pro-military I ask?

The local administration is totally corrupt!
And for this a prize?

I find it difficult to understand how so many people can receive awards day by day, when I see the incessant bowing, kneeling and scraping on Thai TV each night. Are all these people going out of their way to do more than they get paid for, and is there any objective assessment of their performance?

I occasionally see, and accept there are people who by nature give better service than one expects or pays for, but rarely does such efficiency manifest itself in major organisations, such as banks, civil service, immigration etc. IMHO bureaucracy is 'king' in Thailand!

Awards for keeping their mouths shut, going to meetings and turning up for work. Always something to laugh at here,
