Trying to find a good psychiatrist in Thailand is crazy!

Call mission hospital in,bangkok, ask for an appointment with the  psychiatrist that does the comp and penn exams for the va.  He speaks great english

they have both english and french speaking fully licensed psychologists

I have excellent feedback from them, they can also you inform you about a psychiatrist if needed.

psychiatrist and psychologist are different things. A psychiatrist would be warranted only if medications needed to be prescribed and most psychologists have one they refer to. A psychiatrist will spend max 5 minutes with the patient before prescribing....whereas psychologists provide various types of therapy in one hour (50 minute) sessions.  Except for people who are outright psychotic (in which case they won't be able to benefit from therapy anyhow until their though patterns are more rational) it is always best to at least start with a psychologist
