Corruption

Recommended Posts

Listening to the Thai news broadcast a few days ago I was struck by how often the English word corruption came up.

Is there a Thai word for curruption?

If not, perhaps that is why the elimination of this insideous problem is so difficult?

I asked my husband about this one once as I had heard locals using the english word as well. He told me that they were lots of words for corruption but they were specific to an action. They didn't have a catch-all word for all corruption so they just used the english one.

Kinda sad, really. :o

It's a interesting question, and given the answers above, I'll add another.

Thaksin's war on corruption is getting a lot of coverage, but what is the Thai word or phrase for "war on corruption"? Does he use the English word?
