In addition to the Thai penal code there are separate acts and laws which also provide for criminal penalties. In case of need of assistance in a criminal case, it is very important that a lawyer is contacted as early as possible in the process.
Normally a criminal case begins with an investigation by the police, investigators from an administrative section of the Thai government or private investigators. Once enough evidence is established to file a criminal case, bail may be requested. Bail amounts and conditions may be different for foreigners than for Thais.
