I am somewhat new to Thailand and have heard truly astounding stories of corruption under Thaksin: 30% bribes on all construction called a 'Thaksin tax' for which Yingluck was a 'bagman', a Bangkok Air takeover attempt that led to a strike, the telecommunication deal with Myanmar with a low loan taxpayers flipped the bill for etc.

Much of it is of a 'he said, she said' nature and I would like to know of a credible type source to read.

Please see the pinned topic and the top of this page:

Policy In General Regarding Thailand Election/Political Discussions
As a result of the great increase in posts about politics in Thailand, we are requesting that members keep political discussion confined to threads already open in the Thailand News Forum.
Non-political topics in General which are hijacked with political arguments will see posts removed without further notice.

Members who cannot comply with our request will risk a posting suspension.

And let's not forget NO discussion of the Monarchy in a political context. An immediate ban is possible.
