The survey was recently conducted by the Bangkok University Research Centre among 1,202 Thai respondents nationwide, who were asked for their opinions on justice procedures in Thailand. Also named were politicians (63.6 per cent), “high society” wealthy people (61.5 per cent), civil servants, police and military people (45.2 per cent) and monks (21.1 per cent). Over a third of respondents (37.6 per cent) believed the justice system contained loopholes that allowed wrongdoers to evade justice. Another 28.6 per cent thought the practice of “double standards” or discrimination was in play, while 23.6 per cent said they thought available punishments were too lenient compared to the crimes. Asked if they still felt confident in justice procedures, 71.7 per cent said their confidence was rather low while the rest said their confidence remained high.
