Thailand Ranks In The Middle Of Pack In Global Corruption Rankings ...

Did you think it would rank higher in corruption than this ranking? (I did.)

Ranked 88th in 174 countries ranked.

Have you lived in any of the countries that rank below it?

OK, the ranking not quite that comforting. Any score under 50 points considered a very corrupt country. Thailand scored 37.

It actually ranked first in corruption, but they bought off the statistician.

The title of the list says it all : perception.

How can it rank?....not possible.

It either is or it isnt, and sadly it is.

This won't sit well with the hub crowd, a big effort next year may see them ranked even lower, perhaps the latest rice scam will help. See the US did pretty well despite a corrupt Congress and a government run by a fraudulent Goldman Sachs, go figure, maybe the bankers also own whoever runs that ranking.
