Institutional resilience to corruption is extremely low in Thailand. Defence exceptionalism is strong, exempting defence institutions from standard financial, budgeting and procurement regulations. External oversight is also poor, including in policy-making, and safeguards to corruption are limited on operations and in personnel management.
