As stated in the 2013 for Thailand, measures for discouraging facilitation payments do exist but are vague. Bureaucrats who were found guilty of taking bribes could be punished, and witnesses to such corruption could report it to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) for high level officials, and to the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission for lower level officials. But these agencies are often overworked which made them slow and sometimes inefficient. The two most recent regulations for witness protection and rewarding whistleblowers are claimed to be helpful in discouraging bribery.
However, there needs to be much more education in the country regarding the existence and effectiveness of regulations on facilitation payments as well as about the NACC and PACC. There also needs to be more budgeting for both of the two agencies and more cooperation in witness protection with law enforcement personnel.
Since the May 2014 military coup, the situation regarding Thai state policies discouraging facilitation payments has changed very little.
