Transparency International, in their Corruption Perceptions Index 2014, ranked Thailand 85th of 175 nations. The index examines public sector corruption.[1]
"Even though Thailand has the legal framework and a range of institutions to effectively counter corruption, all levels of Thai society continue to suffer from endemic corruption."[2]
Despite the government's efforts to combat corruption in the country, former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra's government was implicated in a rice-pledging scheme for corruption. Ms. Yingluck may face criminal charges over the scheme's failures.[3] However, the independence of the organization which has implicated her has been questioned by international media.[4]
