I think Thais face the same challenge fighting corruption that  Americans face trying to combat gun violence.  Both are deeply rooted in the culture for so long that it is virtually impossible to extinguish. Any marked improvement could be seen as progress.

 

We can't forget: corruption is convenient when it is working for you.

Corruption is something that is hard to combat when those at the top benefit from it. Most normal people don't benefit they just lose out. That is something that should be taught. 

In Thailand that is not true, corruption allows farmers to burn whatever they want when they want.  Corruption allows all people with houses/buildings to build into the public domain and ignore regulations such as distance between buildings needed to have a window.  Corruption allows everyone to drive cars or motornbikes without a test.  Corruption in Thailand is a two way street, or perhaps a motorway.  The amounts and benefits vary, depending larely on the investment.  The big boys invest many years and billions (Baht) in developing relationships and projects and expect to make this back.  The small people pay a few hundred and are able to live life unfettered by big government regulations and bureaucracy.  The French would love to be able to pass a 100 euro note across the administrators desk and actually receive a smile instead of a snarl.  Being given a building permit or allowed to register for health care without 26 pieces of paper would be well worth paying.

 

The way to get rid of corruption is to reduce the civil service to a minimum, about 3 per province, and remove all regulations.

Thais idea of fighting corruption is to go after previous politicians. They are always afraid to go after the existing.

Poor Cha Cha, now they will go after him when he gets chucked out of office, Oh! Wait! He's a soldier not a politician.

'Self-Sufficiency Against Corruption was formally opened by the Office of the National Counter Corruption Commission (NACC) in Prachuap Khiri Khan.'

 

I hope visitors will ask why this office seems to do very little work and wonder why they should put their necks on the line while the experts avoid making problems for themselves.
