Seems hard tobeleive.
I was recently in Thai for months. The x husband of the woman I was seeing hit heron the side of the head - prompley knocked him out -I am x Army..... Later he came to the house and kicked the front door in. I told her to call the police while I blocked his entry.
The police were very understang and thanked me for protecting a thai woman. They arrested him and gave him an exclusion order.
Moral of story, be nice to them, folllow their culture and they will shake your hand
