Sometimes in Thailand you will face problems you can not deal with on your own. If you are a tourist it can be even harder to know what to do. People all around you telling you what to do and maybe the girl that you just met giving your some kind of advice or she is trying to translate and you still not understand.
Your best option if you get your self in to trouble in Thailand is to call the Embassy your embassy is here to help you for free and they know the right people to call and they have done it 1000 times before.
Yes I know sometimes embassy staff can be a pain in the bottom but still they are free and they are paid by your tax money to help you and if they don’t complain when you come back to your country not when you are in Thailand.
Most embassies have an email where you can register where you staying in Thailand your numbers for contact. You can also get there contact emergency number from their homepage and if it is not there take a quick visit when you first arrive in Thailand and get the number.
Then save the number and maybe name in your cellphone shortcuts.
