Finding Info About A Thai Citizen

[thailien8]

Does anyone know how to get any information from Thai bureaucracy about a Thai person? To be specific, I was recently informed by an enemy of an old girlfriend of mine that my old GF had died recently. I hope this is merely a vindictive lie, but tend to believe since GF, who used to call me regularly, has not called in 6 months. Unfortunately I don't have any current phone # for her.

However I do have her full name, written in Thai, as well as the number I copied from her Thai passport. With this information, is it possible to find out whether she is dead or alive?

Could you please send me her name, lastname, and her ID? I've got a connection where we can try.

You can also try a detective agency. Contact David Milne <[email protected]>

Thanks members, but I was hoping to get a lead to deal with Thai bureaucracy by myself. I don't really want to go thru a detective agency and spend big money, and I'd rather not give her details out publicly. She is just an old GF who I still care enough about to want to know.

The larger issue is how farangs can get any kind of information out of the difficult Thai government.

If you know where she's from, just go to the city hall (amphur).

I can do it for you for free, but you're going to have to e-mail me her full name in Thai. If you had her national ID number and birthdate, it would be an extra help.
