I have been in need of the police support on a number of occasions and found them to be helpful and sympathetic. Stolen kayak - recovered. A farang on a motorbike was attacked and punched by a drugged up local rich guy - sorted. Local Thai crashed his scooter and his friend accused me of causing the accident - police said no. Security guard beaten up by a local 'Mr big' - resolved. Two lost kids - found and so on. I have never been asked for money or a bribe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
