Thai economy needs more than a good image

 

 

 

All the good things that the Army is doing and trying to do,
will be quickly return to what has gone on in the past,greed,nepotism,
and corruption,as soon as the politicians return.

Your are of cause right, if this corruption don't stop. I think this junta is trying to stop the corruption and begin law in force on long terms, my opinion will be only small corruption will be here.

Before the army take over, I was reading about 30-40% was going to corruption on project, now is "only" about 15-20%. Much better and hoping for even better figures in the future.
 

 
A query. Could you tell me just where you read that the junta have managed to reduce alleged project corruption costs from 30-40% to 15-20%, i.e halved, in just 10 weeks?

Yes of course .. Here is the link http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/745524-thai-editorial-corruption-abates-slightly-but-not-nearly-enough/

Sorry not 30-40% but 25-35% I remembered wrong
The survey also showed that bribes paid to officials and politicians by the private sector had declined to 15-25 per cent of project costs, from an average 25-35 per cent previously.

 

Oh, based on a survey by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, with no comparative dates mentioned nor sample demographics and questions defined, and recognised by who? OK . Couldn't possibly be a case of what the junta wants to hear being provided by people anxious to jump on the popular anti-corruption bandwaggon could it, I hear that 88% of Thais are satisfied with the junta as well? Witness the huffing and puffing by the NACC since the coup. I'll stand by my justified scepticism, thanks.
