Dave2 from the Chiang Mai forum brought this to my attention though seems to have been around a couple of years. The photos below supplied by Dave2 show the road show in Chiang Mai. So, what do you think - will it help or will people be too afraid of the dark forces to use it?

Bribespot.com

"What Wikipedia did for education, Bribespot could one day do for corruption monitoring"

Chiang Mai Road Show

LOL, this website will probably be banned.

DSI are looking into this as we speak hahah

The priniciple has been out for years, in europe you have been able to mark speed traps with the touch of a screen for all others on the network to be aware of.. What is lacking in Thailand is a GPS system that is online so to speak.

I see quite a few reports listed for Bangkok. Looks like it is working already.

Hahaha like the idea. But think the website would be overwhelmed here, or in short order the map wold be sold red

with markers dropped for every corruption spot, and thus become of little use. Corruption here is from the very bottom

to the very top, thus impossible to stop from an internal level. This would be like politely asking the foxes to regulate

themselves and stop eating the chickens... Only a revolution of the mass of people will bring this to a stop.

You can automatically mark up ANY Land Office in Bangkok, my Wife is always having to pay them to get properties transferred without stupid non existant problems suddenly happening.

It will become a threat to "national security"

What happens when the owners of bribespot are bribed by the BIB??

Will we be jailed if we click LIKE ?

Nah. But your visa may not be renewed by the immigration people

It's great that you have caught the news of Bribespot Thailand so quickly! Good for you! Can I just clarify one thing......internationally Bribespot.com has indeed been around for a couple of years, but Bribespot Thailand was only officially launched in Bangkok less than 2 weeks ago and our first regional roadshow is indeed here in Chiang Mai...I hope your post attracts attention and I would be more than happy to interact with you on this. Please go ahead and ask any questions...and keep checking out our Facebook page (Bribespot Thailand) for updates

PS..just seen the stream above...yes it is available as an app for both Android and iOS smartphones.....for Thai language download the Bribespot Thailand app but for English perhaps better to go for the international Bribespot version...

I see there are claims of corruption against e.g. education providers, around the world.

How do you ensure these are legitimate?

What do you do if a named business contacts you to contest a report?

I can anonymously defame my competitors?

Wonder what the people in the photo would do when they ilegally park and get offered the choice of going to the police station to pay the fine or..........

We are not telling people not to pay a bribe...that choice rests with you as we know that all too often it is extremely difficult to avoid doing so. What we are asking is for you to post that incident in a way that is safe, anonymous and easy. Our aim is to provide channels for posting in a single place and to clearly reveal the scope of the problem and then...well..let's take this one step at a time.

BTW our booth is at the 3 Kings Monument today from around 3pm until late.....I'll be there too so if you have time please come and chat to us...would love to interact with Thai Visa Forum members

You could start with Immigration Sakhon Nakhon. They demand money for nothing, and when I do have to pay for something, if I do not have the exact change, they refuse to give me change.

I just used it to report Sakhon Nakhon Immigration.

Thanks, Colabamumbai......and thanks to any Thai Visa forum members for 'liking' our FB page...Please help to get the word out by sharing details of Bribespot Thailand in the ex-pat community in Thailand...

FYI our road show will be in Khon Kaen 23 - 25 August; and Surat-thani 30 August - 1 September. I'll make sure that exact details of locations are posted on FB in English as well as Thai

Thanks for ignoring me.

An Australian university is named, the subject and department identified (meaning the individual could be inferred), and accused of bribes for grades. How can you allow such a claim to be made?

Do you think this is a good idea?

Are you swimming in DMCA notices?

Interesting exercise but 'clandestine camera and Youtube upload' still seems the only real way to garner action from on high.

As already said when the maps aglow with l'ill red markers will the tooth fairy magically make things better (proliferations of spray paint markers on the tarmac doesn't seem to enhance the standards of driving)

.

I thought this was a site where a person could make their bribes online, not report them! But I guess those getting the bribes aren't clever enough to do that (yet).

Soon soon....the police already have a website for transfers so they should be able to polish up their paypal gateway.

So I see tthe Curtin one is that the Administration was monitoring attempts by a student to pay a bribe and stopped it. Hardly a bribe is it.

So last year

EasyPay QR codes ... theiving BIB slides in on underside of notebook, scan of the QR with smartphone...job done

Only if they get "paid" to do so

"Only a revolution of the mass of people will bring this to a stop."

That statement almost sounds like "Where is Pol Pot when you need him?"

However, better beware of this:

hahahaha yeh, me too - i thought that was a novel way of sorting out their money....never again do i need to make sure I've got enough small bills in my pocket for appropriate monetary donations....maybe we could even pay in advance...like bribe credits hahaha

Yes and tarnish the good reputation of Thailand, threatening tourism. TAT needs to step in and take action against the unpatriotic people who are threatening the countries image.

You're going to net a lot of dyslexic middle aged men with a URL that close to "Thai" and "Bride"
