Police top the list of public services most often demanding a bribe. Just under a third of people who had come into contact with a police officer in the last 12 months said they paid a bribe, according to the report. 

And it has suggested that the cure is to take action each and every time the "symptoms" are spotted.

They have produced a cartoon poster to advise people what to do.

The symptom of the problem (corruption) is caused by covering your ears, eyes and mouth.

The result of so doing it economic problems for the country and personal ruin.

The treatment is simple: Speak up each and every time corruption rears its head.

The cartoon character in the third box was a member of the public with what appeared to be a policeman.

Daily News said that corruption and Thailand had gone hand in hand since for ever.

While it may not be a part of daily life for everyone it was a big problem especially when people did nothing about it.

Thais have been criticized both from within and outside the country for tolerating and even taking an active part in facilitating corruption.

The message was that this has to stop in order for corruption to cease.
