No major surprise there. When the Junta stole power they swore one of their top priorities was to stamp out corruption. Naturally, as with everything else they put their hand to, like returning happiness to the people they failed dismally. Thais see those at the top creaming off whatever they can get, so it is no surprise that everyone is getting in on the act and the country is sliding ever backward and down.
