Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are asking the question, "How do Thai Police serve an arrest warrant?" I thought of making this video after reading a recent article from Thai PBS World, that's thaipbsworld.com and I thought this excerpt I am going to quote provided some real insight on this topic. The article is titled: DSI officials search Bangkok condo for Singaporean suspect in Forex-3D scam. Quoting directly: "Officials from the Department of Special Investigation searched the condo in Bangkok's Bang Phlat area yesterday (Saturday) for a Singaporean man wanted for alleged involvement in the Forex-3D currency futures scam. Armed with an arrest warrant, the DSI Officers only found the Thai girlfriend of suspect (I'm redacting the name), his clothes and some personal effects in the room. According to the DSI, (again redacting name) is among the third group of suspects charged with public fraud and violations of the Computer Crime Act, in connection with the currency futures pyramid scam. Several celebrities have also been implicated."

Quoting again: "Armed with an arrest warrant, the DSI Officers only found the Thai girlfriend of the suspect and some clothes basically." Basically, this is kind of how it happens. They get a search warrant issued, an arrest warrant issued, and then they go to the person's last known address and they enter and detain if they find the person. If they don't find the person, as in this case, they go ahead and search the place; they find people that know them and then they go on and continue investigating until they basically come upon that person, go ahead and arrest them. So it is not all that dissimilar to the way arrests are done in a Western context. 

If you are dealing with it here in Thailand it can be extremely daunting as a foreigner because you are going to be dealing with stuff primarily in the Thai language. The other thing to keep in mind is Thailand has a very different system with regard to Attorney representation especially in the context of fact-finding. So again, when they are undertaking fact-finding they may not necessarily have to have an Attorney present. A lot going on there. If you really feel like there is a problem with this in your particular life, you have issues with respect to the Thai Criminal Justice System, it may be a good idea to contact a legal professional and gain some insight and guidance into how best to proceed.
