Last week, four Buriram schoolgirls put the Nation into shock when they said that a gang of kidnappers had tried to drag them into a white van. They claimed to have heard the screams of other children inside. This week, they confessed that the story was a pack of lies.

It's surprising that anyone took them seriously. Buriram girls do have a well-deserved reputation for telling fibs but more importantly there is no motive. For the price of a TV set, countless local parents have already sold their daughters to traffickers. Kidnapping is quite unnecessary.

Clean-up measure backfires

In a bid to impress foreign visitors to the APEC summit, authorities have been busy hosing human vermin from the streets. Unfortunately, the forced deportation of 600 Cambodians was criticised as "a step backward" by the US State Department because some of them were child victims of human trafficking. Congress will have to take the incident into account when deciding aid, trade promotion and investment in Thailand. Stunned Thai leaders were expecting gratitude.

Extent of corruption revealed

In spite of its booming economy, Thailand scored poorly this week in the definitive international survey on corruption. Transparency International (TI) awarded it just 3 out of 10. Corruption isn't all bad though. If your car is stuck at a red light, you can make it go green just by running over to the police box with 200 baht. I bet you can't do that back home.
