I've only been involved in cases in provincial capitals. I would imagine Bangkok and Chiangmai are "rich villages" as well. They usually try it on for 50K and settle for 30. This can be affected by the perceived wealth of the conscript's parents, (or their perceived gullibility). There can be other minor costs, such as getting a medical exemption certificate. It also depends on the amiability of the "sussadee" (the local army bagman).
Most of the kids I know joined the cadet scheme at high school, which gives you a pass on the conscription.

From AI:

The current illegal going rate to bribe your way out of the Thai military draft is generally between 30,000 to 50,000 Thai Baht (approximately $900 to $1,500 USD), though it can climb significantly higher depending on the region and the level of influence required. [1]
Corruption in the draft process is an open secret. Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, the chair of the House committee on military affairs, highlighted that families pay an estimated 2 billion Baht in total bribes annually to shield young men from conscription.

I didn't know where you were talking about
I thought it may have been up north
And as you said, could be based on perceived wealth. Not many "poor" families in that village so new guy may be trying it on


I never wanted to be involved in bribes so I don't encourage it at all

My wife wanted Nut to go to Air Force Academy but I told her I wouldn't pay any sort of bribe

And I always shoot down any talk of family kids going into police


We paid 1 bribe
My wife desperately wanted Nut to go to one of the best public high schools in Thailand(Bangkok)

So we paid 50k
I wasn't happy doing so though

I think you are missing a perfect opportunity to knock some sense into the knucklehead. Let him get drafted for a year. He'll come out more of a man than what you coddlers are doing to him..🙂

I have nothing to do with this Army draft thing

My wife, me, the whole family thinks he should get drafted
Do him good
We'd be happy if he got drafted

But it's his decision and his money

He used coasters
Didn't put them back

Left the chair not pushed in

And left his pot of food on the stove

Basically anything he touched he didn't put back

No he would have a warrant out for his arrest in Thailand

If that is the case. Surely, as soon as he uses his passport again at any border, wouldn't the warrant show up as a red flag against him either when he leaves Canada and/or or steps foot back in Thailand.
Perhaps going awol is not a good way of going, if that is the case
