Tourism operators hope the government can work to remove bribery in the industry, notably in night-time entertainment venues and the tour guide business, although the problem is not as severe as in other industries, says the Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT).
Chamnan Srisawat, president of the TCT, said all issues should be put on the table as some night-time entertainment venues regularly pay bribes to stay open beyond the mandatory closing time of 2am.
