Police Corruption and the Rule of Law in Thailand

Michael Backman

Chapter Chapter 5 in The Asian Insider, 2004, pp 30-34 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Thailand is the ‘land of smiles’. It is a Buddhist society in which friends ‘wai’ each other with clasped hands, and where tolerance and peace are valued above all else. That at least is the Thailand promoted by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Another side of Thailand is that it is a place of godfathers and contract killings, gun culture, all-pervasive corruption and flexible social and moral values.
