petermik Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 What could they do if you don't give them any money? For example, if you run a bar (I know you've already mentioned you don't, this is just an example), if you were fully legal the BiB could still prove to be too much of a headache by coming in and checking the ID and drugs testing all your customers repeatedly to such a degree people stop coming to your bar. People have already asked what business you are in. This is an important question because people can then ascertain what the Police could do to impact you. It would also be good to know what rank the Policeman is, is he acting alone or is it a group of them acting on instructions from their station commander. As already mentioned, in order to provide useful advice, more information is needed... OP: Help us to help you... Its traffic Police and a group of 7 of them. They have something valuable to a customer of ours and wont give it back unless we give them some red box money Let the customer sort it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruds Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 He is a friend as well as customer so that also isn't an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostoday Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Get a lawyer as was suggested. Thai Visa is the last place I would go for competent legal advice. You get what you pay for. I lived in Pattaya and used the law firm mentioned above and they sorted out the problem in no time. Unless you just want to jack jaw about the Pattaya police and how bad they are.

petercool Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Again, not enough specifics. Were what is valuable in a vehicle that was in an accident or what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemorechang Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) How much they want and why ? Has your customer broke the law in anyway ? if so let him deal with it. Edited August 30, 2015 by onemorechang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 He is a friend as well as customer so that also isn't an option Would it be possible to visit their station commander and speak with him directly ? Would it be possible take with you a Thai would be be well received and respected ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I figured right Red-Box......Your up against a system. Damned if you do, damned if you dont. It's the age old protection racket. Almost a franchise right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolley Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I am sorry I cant really help the OP but anybody in business in Thailand should have some connections at a higher level to call on when problems like this arise which of course they invariably do. That is how it works in Thailand. Often one phone call to an influential thai and the problems disappear immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 He is a friend as well as customer so that also isn't an option As a businessman, is whatever this customer is alleged to have done impairing your business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much are they asking for? How did they get this item? What business are you in? Start talking, it's getting boring.

Pattaya28 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 This is a troll post. The OP is reading and replying. But too much vagueness. How many times does "PeterCool" have to mention this ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercool Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 After some consideration, this topic is considered as going nowhere given its lack of info from the OP so it is now //CLOSED// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
