Examining the Depths of Corruption in Thailand's Public Sector The recent exam cheating scandal in Thailand has exposed entrenched corruption within its public sector.
On July 16, authorities announced that nearly 6,000 Thai civil servants were under investigation for accepting bribes to alter exam results for government jobs or promotions.
The officials allegedly received up to 800,000 baht (approximately $230,000 USD) in exchange. This scandal is not an isolated incident; corruption and bribery have plagued Thailand's public sector for years.
