Thailand’s Corruption Ranking/Rating in New Study

Thailand is up from 84th to 80th out of 180 countries, in a new study by Transparency International.

Thailand’s upgraded ranking is due to corruption charges against Thai politicians following 2006 coup that ousted the Thaksin government. In 2006 Thailand was 63rd, and 59th in 2005. In Asia, Thailand is ranked 10th.

Thailand corruption score should improve next year as more corruption cases against Thailand’s national politicians should be determined later this year.

Burma ‘Myanmar’ was rated most corrupt country in Asia.

A country’s score is decided by the degree of public sector corruption as perceived by business people and country analysts and ranges between a score of 10-least corrupt and 0-most corrupt.

The Worldwide corruption rate of all 180 countries, Denmark is rated #1, least corrupt nation, New Zealand #2, and Sweden #3. Somalia is rated most corrupt, after Burma and Iraq.
