Re discussion 5: I think there is a misunderstanding here. Thai police are second most well-reputated for corruption... Some of them drug dealers themselves.

Signing the 30 years BTS contract without consent from the interior ministry....Refusing to open water sluice gates to disperse accumulated flood water at bangkok's outskirt area....Blocking manholes with sand bags thus causing obstruction of flood water dispersal. It is time to have a bkk governor change.
