Any crackdown on lower level corruption i.e. Police,public officials etc will require a simultaneous large increase in salaries paid to same. Hopefully paid by those who can afford it rather than those who can't avoid it.

Higher level corruption is a different story.

I wanted to read the whole article, but you now have to sign up to read a lot of stuff on the Bangkok Post. I started to sign up the other day, but decided they wanted too many details from me. I trust the Bangkok Post as much as I trust the current regime. So I didn't continue.
