Bangkok Future: The incredible journey of a man who was once a pimp to 20,000 prostitutes, to ending up as a Thai politician.
Chuwit Kamolvisit has exposed bribery at the highest levels of the police and politics. He should know, he's been paying the police off himself for ten years.

Vice King Chuwit Kamolvisit is running for governor of Bangkok on an anti-corruption ticket, but his own background is far from clean.
