Read it:
Thailand's organized crime has long run through the state. A subdistrict headman's bodyguard shoots a highway police officer at a dinner attended by two dozen police guests, and the host's state contracts surface. A deputy minister has a waterway deeded to a company and sold to the state for a plant that never runs. An army general is convicted of trafficking the Rohingya held in jungle camps. A police colonel who seized supercars suffocates a suspect on video. Thai companies become the Myanmar junta's leading suppliers, and scam money surfaces in Thai shares. Covers Praween Chankhlai and his construction companies, Vatana Asavahame and the Klong Dan land, Manas Kongpan and the Rohingya camps, Thitisan Utthanaphon and the Nakhon Sawan police, and Supachai Srisupa-aksorn and the Klongchan cooperative.
