I disagree quite strongly with this attitude. Corruption only looks benign when you can afford it. Corruption hurts the poor most of all, and tilts the system in favour of the rich, who get a reduced set of rules to live by at the expense of the poor. In my opinion Thailand's biggest problem is that the system serves the rich. We are guests of Thai people, not the wealthy minority, and should strive very hard, even if it must be at our own expense or inconvenience, to not worsen the country for the majority. Often it just takes a little determination and polite resistance.
