The Grey Man
“As I've mentioned, to outsiders the police in Thailand can appear corrupt, and to a certain extent they are. The Major explained to me, however, that it wasn't just about cops lining their own pockets. The Thai police are notoriously under-resourced and will sometimes be expected to pay their own expenses, such as transport and accommodation if they have to pursue a case outside their normal jurisdiction. If they want to be armed with something more modern than an old-fashioned six-shot revolve...r, they even have to buy their own pistols.
The Grey Man entered this unusual system as a force for good. We would uncover leads and pursue them to the point that we needed the police to get involved, but often we would face a situation where the local police did not have the money to see an operation through to its conclusion. We found ourselves paying transport and accommodation and meals for police, just to get them to where they were needed. Typically, we weren't talking about a lot of money – maybe A$120 to see the successful arrest of a trafficker and the freedom of a couple of kids.MoreLess
