    World’s first anti-corruption coffee shop opened in Ubon Ratchathani



    UBON RATCHATHANI, 22 August 2015 (NNT) – The NACC and the UNDP have opened the world’s first ‘Corruption Unwelcome’ coffee shop at Ubon Ratchathani University, the NACC President says.

    The President of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, (NACC) Panthep Klanarongran, has officiated the opening of the 'Corruption Unwelcome' coffee shop at Ubon Ratchathani University with the aim to raise anti-corruption awareness among students.

    According to the NACC President, this coffee shop is the upshot of the cooperation between the NACC, the United Nations Development Programme in Thailand (UNDP), True Coffee, Ubon Ratchathani University, along with anti-corruption organizations.

    The coffee shop is positioned as a socially responsible business as well as the center of learning and exchange among college students in order to come up with anti-corruption and prevention measures in the Thai society.

    Profits from the operation of this coffee shop will go toward supporting anti-corruption activities for students for the continuity and the endurance of students’ campaign.

    Another 'Corruption Unwelcome' coffee shop is set to be opened at Khon Kaen University in September. It is to be opened in other universities in Thailand as well.

    2nd from left is very pretty - thai or luk krueng ?

    the corruption malaise is just indelibly entrenched here - maybe computerisation of many of the tasks carried out by the hordes of signature and stamp thieves will make a big dent in the culture of the bureaucrats. Any interaction with the uniformed and bemedalled in this country is habitually greased by some baht , if not you will languish at the back in retaliation. For all the proclamations of pious support for their monarch they really don't understand or care that the badge on their uniform caps is the mark they are acting under the supreme authority
    If you torture data for enough time , you can get it to say what you want.

    The UNDP should hang it's head in shame. Thus, by inference, so should the UN. And UBU.

    Why don't we work on a universal anti-corruption system first and then go from there - trickle down theory.

    Thai flowery rhetoric at it's best.

    Fair trade coffee beans, presumably from Vietnam.
    Funny how the Fair trade coffee bean logo has died a death in the U.K.
    Coffee drinkers are so selfish, they don't seem to care were the beans come from.
