ChaangNoi Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Section 1323. A person who finds lost property is bound: (1) to deliver it to the loser, the owner or any other person entitled to receive it, or (2) to inform without delay to the loser, the owner or any other person entitled to receive it, or (3) to deliver it within three days to the police or other competent official and inform them of all circumstances within his knowledge which may be material for the person who is entitled to receive it. However, the procedure provided in sub-section 3 must be followed it the loser, owner or other person entitled to receive the property is unknown or does not take delivery of it. In any case the property found must be kept with reasonable care until delivery. Because of the value and nature of the property I would prefer to not hand it over to the police without contacting the owner. However I am unable to find any address or phone number that is current for the owner of the property. Knowing just a name what is the best way to contact someone in Thailand? Phone number would be better than an address. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Have you tried searching the name in both English and Thai script in Google search and facebook? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Search the Thai name in Facebook, Line, Twitter. Using Thai and Roman letters, i.e. 2 searches for each medium. Edited February 16, 2015 by Briggsy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaangNoi Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Facebook, Line and Twitter is a great idea. We will try it. Edit: We tried google in both Thai and English, Found old phone numbers and addresses only. Edited February 16, 2015 by ChaangNoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I assume you have the surname. Thai surnames are usually shared by far fewer people than Western ones. If your intent is good, you should find a relative who will be able to put you in touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hop over to your local Thesaban or Amphur office where they do the ID cards. Ask politely if they can run the name in the computer. It may well pop up a copy of their registration which has the address. I've done this in the past, it works well if you have the name in Thai, less well if only English because of transliteration difficulties.

Mac I do have the name in Thai and he evidently lives or used to live in a Provence that is far from here. Ideally I would like to call him but I will try this if all else fails. Thanks.
