Where Is the Justice in Samut Prakan Bangkok? My Experience with Police, Lawyers, and Trust in Thailand and Cambodia

After a stressful situation in Bangkok, Thailand, I stopped believing in justice, the police, and good-intentioned lawyers—both in Cambodia and Thailand. My trust was tested again when I met a girl on a dating app called Thai Friendly. Her nickname was Sandy. We met a few times at my condominium in Samut Prakan, south of Bangkok. She wasn't exactly the girl of my dreams, but she was friendly and easy to talk to.


Things got complicated after a few months. Sandy told me that three men had moved into her apartment and refused to leave. She said the police wouldn’t help because it was considered a “private property” matter and that she needed private security to resolve it. The situation reminded me of stories I’d heard back in Siem Reap, Cambodia—about girls from Trat province being forced into dangerous situations like smuggling guns across borders.


I asked Sandy directly if she was being forced to hide weapons or do something illegal. She got nervous and refused to answer but insisted that she needed to borrow 10,000 THB to rent a new apartment. She promised she would pay me back.


Soon after, Sandy’s story started changing—she messaged that she was helping her lesbian sister apply for university in Chonburi and sent me strange updates from Pattaya night market. Sensing something wasn’t right, I went to the police to report what happened: that I’d lent her money under possibly false pretenses. The police gave me only a simple note—not an official statement—and didn’t seem interested in helping.


I reached out for an English-speaking lawyer in Bangkok (the same lawyer preparing my court case against an ex who scammed me on a marriage visa). This new lawyer spoke very good English. I signed a contract and paid 8,000 THB up front. She tried contacting the police on my behalf but ran into dead ends—the officer handling my case didn’t show up for their appointment in Samut Prakan Police Station. Meanwhile, she informed me that if I wanted an official police statement regarding the 10,000 THB loan to Sandy, it would cost me another 8,000 THB.


In the end, I lost 10,000 THB trying to help someone in need and another 8,000 THB paying a lawyer—without even getting an official police statement in Police Station Bangkok Thailand.


So I ask: Is this just bad luck? Was I scammed by trusting too easily? Or is there really no justice left for foreigners trying to do the right thing in Thailand and Cambodia?


If you’re reading this and have legal experience here—let me know: Is this normal? Or am I just naïve for trying to help?


After few months the Lawyer who recommend me this SANDY case lawyer refused to open court case against "freelance scam girl" from Pattaya and my car has been stolen from CONDOMINIUM ASPIRE ERAWAN PRIME
