The problem for me isn't corruption. I prefer to take care of a driving violation on the spot. The problem is when police come to your condo to search it, stop you while you are going to work to interrogate you, plant drugs on you so you have to bribe them to let you go, being told you dropped a cigarette butt on the ground beside you and told you have to pay 10000baht($330), harass you, passport check and pay a fine for not having it (legally not required to carry), anything to squeeze a few bucks out of you.

I've been to cambodia numerous times, already have friends and contacts so I'm aware of the situation but won't be fully aware until I try living there. If it's too bad then I'll go somewhere else. Maybe back to Costa Rica.

As for racism in Thailand, Google 'xenophobia in thailand' if you wish to learn more about the land of smiles.
