När inte CPI-indexet är att lita på kanske man kan leta andra metoder.
Gini-koefficienten har varit uppe förut, antar jag, en viktig faktor när man pratar om korruption är ju fattigdom
eller snarare fördelningen av resurserna mellan de rikaste och de fattigaste.
Thailand har utvecklats väl ekonomiskt sedan 80-talet men de fattigaste har kanske inte fått så stor del av kakan
som man hade kunnat hoppas enligt denna artikel i Thailand Business News
Sen kan man diskutera till hudlöshet vilka politiker, om någon, som kan krediteras för det

Primarily due to the high rates of economic growth, poverty has been falling steadily since the late 1980s.
Over the last decade, poverty has been reduced from its recent peak of 42.6 percent in 2000 (a result of the 1997 crisis)
to about 13.2 percent in 2011.
Poverty in Thailand is primarily a rural phenomenon, with 88 percent of the country’s 5.4 million poor living in rural areas.
However, benefits of Thailand’s economic success have not been shared equally, with some regions—particularly,
the North and Northeast—lagging behind the rest of the country in terms of poverty reduction.
Inequalities in terms of incomes and opportunities have been persistent.
The GINI coefficient, a measurement of income inequality in Thailand, has been persistent at around 0.45 for the last two decades.
Much of the inequalities are inter-regional with the North and the Northeast lagging behind other regions of the country.
