Key recommendations
The government could develop more detailed guidance for officials considered at risk
of conflict-of-interest situations, and further expand the scope of its asset declaration
system to public officials that are considered at risk of corruption.
Thailand should consider developing an online disclosure system to facilitate the
submission, verification and audit, and subsequent publication of asset declarations.
To foster a culture of public integrity. Thailand could increase awareness of the
Code of Professional Ethics for Civil Servants by developing an in-depth training
programme, and introduce a dedicated whistleblower protection law to facilitate reporting
of suspected integrity violations.
