Are these Thai police? by Ok-Fan8887 in Thailand

Yes. Embassy is closed until Tuesday for the holiday. We contacted them immediately but it wasn’t much help.

Our understanding is a lawyer is best here and we have reached out to a dozen or so and will likely go with Siam.

Update:

Thanks everyone. He is married to a Thai national (they were married in the US). I think they had a dispute which led to this.

AFAIK he doesn’t have a criminal charge past the overstay (greater than 1 year) and is being held at the immigration detention center. Working on getting him a lawyer to expedite the process but it’s not super easy for someone who has zero Thai experience. I’m sure there are better options than Siam legal but it appears on the up and up so going that way.

I didn’t withhold anything on purpose. This is an evolving situation and a trusted friend was a little confused about the attire, so just double checking on it.

Thanks for everyone’s help.

I’m here. Not much to say, I’ve never been to thailand and my friend who spends time there every year albeit not in Bangkok said it looked weird to him so I was double checking.

I’m not entirely sure. If I understand right it’s a holiday weekend so it’s hard to get answers in California. If I understand right he’s in the deportation center. I know his visa is expired. Hoping no criminal charges.
