Thai bureaucracy in the view of leaders

Abstract

Problems in Thai society arise in part from the bureaucratic system of 
administration that is still attached to the old things that are difficult to really change 
and improve the work system. especially the use of the patronage system that relies 
on people close to senior government officials and politicians who take advantage of 
their own interests rather than the public to develop the country resulting in a noble 
corporate culture, which is a method used since the Ayutthaya period until the 
present day Corruption is a value that is generally accepted in the bureaucratic 
circles, thus becoming part of the acceptable behavior of politicians and government 
officials in Thai society. And the quality of work in various areas according to the 
bureaucratic system is aimed at serving the elite in society rather than serving the 
public to the people as the owners of the country. Therefore, to solve problems and 
prevent obstacles that will arise in the future. The bureaucratic system is trying to 
reform the organization a lot, so the administrative conditions in the bureaucratic 
system may be improved somewhat. But it will look like a slow pace because it is a 
large system with many people, causing obstacles if reforms occur that will affect 
adaptation. Which most government officials do not agree with still possessing power 
like that The power that used to exist will be reduced and the benefits that have 
been received will be lost. will continue to monitor each other in the dimension of 
the people's demands for bureaucratic reforms to actual operations for the people 
which will happen to much or how much would remain in the perspective of a 
reformer who prioritizes the well-being of the people over the government officials
