As someone else has stated, he has that "I'm Billy Big Balls" look about him and his attitude has got him in trouble. No doubt he has kicked off in the cells thinking the consulate is going to rescue him and that he can get away with it in exactly the same way he can in the UK. In doing so he has alienated not only the police but the rest of the detainees and has suffered the consequences.
I've been banged up here once for DUI and whilst the cells aren't great they're nothing like he describes. Whilst there might not have been an endless supply, he would have had enough water to sustain himself and if he didn't have the common sense to preserve it, that is even more evident of his immaturity. There are also farang charities that come around the cells to check on farang detainees, offering a bottle of water and a few slices of bread or similar to make sure that you're getting some food. Even whilst in the cells, once I had engaged with the locals and they had seen that I was just a normal guy and I had no attitude or air of superiority to myself, I found them compassionate and friendly, offering to share their drinks and chocolate with me.
Obviously the guy has found out the hard way that regardless of where you are from and who you think you are, it makes no difference here. The £5k story for flights is also BS too unless they didn't fly economy. Like a spoilt child he's now doing his best to do a character assassination attempt on the country whilst expecting others to pay for his mistakes.
It's not compulsory to answer an incoming call and, if you're so bothered by it, you can block the number so that you only ever get one call from them. It may turn out that you actually like the quotation that they give you!
