Thailand Tourist Police

There are special Thailand Tourist Police in all major tourist areas including Bangkok, to help out tourists that need someone who can speak good English. 

They will assure your visit is as safe and as pleasant as possible.

Most tourist police will speak English and a few will speak Japanese or other European languages.

In most cases they are farangs (foreigners) who take on this role, so they have lived in their area for some time and know what happenings can occur and at most instances have an easy solution to your problem

If you become involved in a dispute during your stay and do not feel you are being treated fairly, call 1155 for the Tourist Police.

They are very familiar with all the local scams and the operators who run them.
