» Re: "Fast-money trail", (PostBag, May 5). I agree with most right-thinking people like Samanea Saman (BP, May 5) that the Thai Pass fiasco may be a simple money grab led by insurance companies forcing worthless Covid policies on tourists.

» In my 30-plus years in Thailand, it has become quite obvious that corruption in its various forms has had a disastrous effect on the country through the failure of its institutions. Look up the effect of corruption on Google and immediately you will find that politicians, police and the judiciary are the institutions named as most affected. I have watched with disbelief as politicians, wealthy individuals and military leaders have broken laws, engaged in illegal activities and even caused deaths without any repercussions for their actions.
