The suspects, including the village chief who chaired a local community bank, face charges of fraud and illegal borrowing schemes. Investigators revealed that this case is one of eight similar investigations involving 700 victims and a financial loss of 107 million baht. Combined with the other cases, the total damages exceed 400 million baht.

The trusted headman.... corruption is everywhere, just the depth that varies, and it seems he has been very busy.

No.

 

Thailand has a relatively low rate for most "formal" taxes, compared to many countries, partly through design and partly through incompetence in collecting.

 

However, when you factor in the "informal" taxation inevitable when dealing with any government organisation or individual with absolutely any regulatory or law enforcement role the "take" is probably as high as most countries; they're all at it!

 

There was a thread running, (only slightly tongue in cheek) a few years back suggesting that all uniforms (brown, khaki and green) should be tailored without pockets!
