Did I hit a nerve there?

Enough for you to come out of the woodwork and troll.....lol

I'm sure Thailand has been completely misrepresented on this index and in fact it's a shinning beacon giving the undeniable example of how things should be in this section. :naughty:

I guess it depends on who does the corruption. Is it only a poorly paid cop getting a 100 baht payoff?
