Thailand Slips in Global Corruption Ranking for 2024
You're wrong with your assertion. In "civilized" countries there is an instituted system of revenue raising which goes towards road maintenance and upgrading. So instead of improving the standard of living and road safety, saving lives, lessening danger on the roads the short term "fix" by way of a bribe is actually contributing to poor roads, poor infrastructure, more accidents and more misery. -

Thai PM Considers Easing Alcohol Sales Rules to Boost Tourism
I can say,that, as a tourist and visitor and now expat (for 5-6 months per year), the 2-5pm sales ban on alcohol in Thailand has had no bearing whatsoever over the years. I agree that the ban is ridiculous, but going to Pattaya or Phuket, or any other tourist area, they always serve all day. OK, it is a pain if I go to Big C or Villa Market in the afternoon for food and I cannot pickup a beer or wine to enjoy with dinner.

I remember, in the UK, that pubs were only allowed to serve from 11am to 3pm and 6pm to 11pm on Monday to Saturday and 12-2pm and 7-10pm on Sundays right up until the mid 1980's. -
