Port Authority of Thailand (PAT) employees are extorting shipping operators at Bangkok Port, the Thai Federation on Logistics claims.

The shipping operators will front the media today to provide details of the alleged corruption, Thongyu Khongkhan, the federation's chief adviser and executive, said.

The port's union, meanwhile, says it will press ahead with its campaign for the PAT director-general to quit.

BP: corruption is such a huge issue in Thailand, I respectfully suggest that you provide another search category after "Local News" and "Politics":"Corruption".

Any one who has had dealings with the port authorities know of the dog eared paper back book on the counters.
