I was told there is a lawyer who prosecutes corrupt police and she is spreading fear quickly among the bad eggs. She is very good devoted apparently. Best try to gather some evidence though if you are determent to help your neighbor.
If I get more info on the lawyer I will send it your way. #3

First of all, you will require rock solid evidence that this is truly happening, and then as to why this is happening. If your friend is in the wrong then he may find the egg on his face and get himself in to some serious trouble.
If your friend has done nothing wrong to inititate this corruption then he will have to approach a Police Commander who is working out of this Policeman's Province and make a formal complaint. It wouldn't do him any harm to also get in touch with a lawyer, again based out of this Policeman's reach. #4

In my opinion, one can not and does not get rich in Thailand with out some "degree" of coruption. So your friend probably does have some "history" on his hands that he would care not to have exposed.\
So even IF he is in the right in the particular situation, he may win the battle, but he will lose the war. I'd steer clear. Edited by Dakhar, 2009-11-16 06:21:49. #5

leave it to your neighbour.
if he asked you for advice, tell him to record all conversations and on camera. Write down notes serial numbers and even mark them. At the same time go to the authorities. but I do suspect, that your neighbour was couth red handed on some large deal and now payes back, instead of getting sentenced for 5-10 years #6

This Mercedes driving Policeman owns a 12 million bt condo in our building.
He refuses to pay the maintenance fees. His overdue bill is 300,000 bt. He refused to respond to registered mail and a legal notice so we shut off his water supply. Now he is attempting to extort a another resident to pay off his unpaid balance. He being abusive and threatening to the building staff too. We checked him out and discovered he owes another acquaintance 8 million bt. #7

Please be careful whatever course you and your neighbor choose to go. While you can be applauded for trying to help a neighbor, if you are not careful you might end up like the real-life Serpico who tried to find justice in a corrupt system.

Your neighbor should handle this Thai style: avoid direct confrontation with the rogue cop. Go on vacation for a week or two (if possible) with no forwarding address. Or empty his bank account & then show the cop that he would love to help, but has no money. Or tell him that he can loan the money, but he has to wait 2 weeks & then keep dragging it out. Etc.. etc...

Police head quarters in Bangkok has anti corruption unit, but it is far from ideal, however if you have firm evidence approach them and if you are foreigner go to tourist police tend to be able to deal with regular police and their extortive behavior, much better than the any other agency.
Extortion is common practice there and is nothing new, it is fact of life and one has to live with it. Only if it is left unchecked with serve to increase the appetite of the reprobate. If you got in deep sh.......... message me. #13

Best try to gather some evidence though if you are determent to help your neighbor. If I get more info on the lawyer I will send it your way. The lawyer route is best, if you can get evidence. Written evidence would be best, with video as support. Please let all of us know this lawyer's contact info, as it's good to know that someone is willing to go up against them. #14

You answered your own question there by stating you don't do anything of significance here in Thailand. Sitting around in shorts and a tank wearing flipflops drinking beer all day every day isn't going to involve you in Thailand in any way that you will be exposed to much at all. #16

Best piece of advice i have ever seen on TV...thanks... keep out of anything significant in Thailand and do not expose yourself

This was reported earlier in 2007 as the number to call for crime and corruption. Try reporting it here, but the website is mostly in Thai:
People can call hotline 1194, phone 02-251-2981, send a letter to PO Box 1234 Rong Muang, Bangkok 10000 edited: Website removed: Don't use Website!!! it attempts to change your security settings. Edited by Mrjlh, 2009-11-16 13:22:45. #20

Mmmm yeah one of my (Thai) secretaries rented a house to a policeman for a couple of years and he never paid any rent ever. It also kind of half burnt down when he left and she had to rebuild it. She couldnt do anything about any of it as he was well connected although of low rank and she wasnt and wanted a long healthy life with no worry as she told me. I wouldnt advise getting involved in these situations unless you have to. #21

So you couldn't possibly even have a conversation. Strike a blow to Thai government. Can't call anyone... Edited by Mrjlh, 2009-11-16 13:37:07. #24
