September 29, 201411 yr I am in need of some urgent advice. Currently I am not in thailand but my thai wife is there. Some ex boyfriend if hers whose name I have has arrived there today and knows which shop she is working in. He is threatening her with his behaviour. I am thinking of contacting the police in bangkok . Is there a international number ? Google didn't seem to trow up any numbers only a local thai number. Help please if you know.
September 29, 201411 yr By far the best solution would be for your wife to go to the police, not that they are likely to do a great deal unless actual crime is committed (or even then). If you have the number of the local cop-shop just dial 0066 followed by the number without the leading zero (assume you're in the UK) but of course you knew that. You do speak Thai don't you? Doing that will net even less response than your wife would garner The Tourist Police are on 1155, you could try 0066 1155 (Skype may well work +66 1155) at least you will get an English speaker. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
September 30, 201411 yr Author These numbers don't work ..I don't use Skype I use voip...as it is far more stable.. I have found the 24 tourist police number and it rings but so far no answer... not to worry I find some other solution
September 30, 201411 yr Best way is to have her brothers/father/Thai male friend take care of it. Cops wouldn't listen even if a Thai approached them as it's into domestic territory, plus no one got hurt yet. Hope you get it sorted. Btw, Skype is a VoIP system
September 30, 201411 yr Author Thank you all for the replies .. of course skype is a voip program 555 only there is a actual program called voip that I use on my android s5 and laptop for work .. she doesn't have brothers ..and her dad is over 70 .so not good as the family lives in a village not in bkk... I be there next week ..so if the situation hasn't resolved ...then I might have to help it along a little. .. ;-)
September 30, 201411 yr Only your wife can sort this .... Your presence is only going to complicate things She must go to the police and file a complaint Make her do it
September 30, 201411 yr Author The other guy is not a thai man he is from Europe . So I probably settle it with him , if it isn't sorted by the time I get there
September 30, 201411 yr So I probably settle it with him Even more important that your wife gets a complaint registered at the local cop shop,( make sure they write it up) then if anything untoward happens when you 'settle it with him' there will be an already logged complaint. Do not see how you can do anything from the UK, do not think the cops will accept a complaint from someone on the phone and in another country., wife needs to go in person.
September 30, 201411 yr Author She won't go to the police , as she says they will not do anything. And from what I have seen I was thinking more along the lines of tourist police . Although I now have my doubts.
