Many people write to Thai newspapers complaining about the endemic corruption that exists here. They get very hot under the collar at what they see reported in the media every day - particularly inside state institutions such as the police, the courts, the Army and government ministries. Thai politicians excel at using their power for personal gain - to support their own networks of family and friends. In Thailand this kind of behaviour is completely normal (bunkun - the patron-client relationship) which has been reinforced by the long historical stratification of society along feudal lines, where everyone knows their place and accepts their fate/karma. To do otherwise is, well, just "un-Thai".
