Hardly surprising, after all this country runs on a type of corruption economy.

A policeman's job is vastly underpaid, yet much sought after, because of the unique opportunity to create wealth from the power of the position. This system thrives in many areas of Thai life, but particularly in government where the rewards can be huge.

While the expats rage in indignation, the citizens are not ignorant of the system but accept it as part of normal life, while hoping one of their offspring can jump onto the gravy train.

This system is not going to change in a hurry to, for example, some version of the British style of economy, with it's more hidden type of corrupt practice.

The Thai system failed In this instance, because the employers still need workers with whom they can maximize profits by paying peanuts. The smugglers are too greedy to pause their income, and all parties are generally too dumb to consider the ramifications of people smuggling during a pandemic.
