How to report British national for crime in Bangkok?

The British embassy won't handle the investigation, but they can help if the person is a British national in a few specific ways. They might be able to contact the Thai police on your behalf to check on progress, especially if you have a case number. Try calling the consular section directly on 02 305 8333 and ask if they can flag it under the Prisoner Transfer or consular assistance framework. Also, if you haven't already, take your video to the local police station where the crime happened and ask for a "inquiry official" specifically, not just the front desk officer. The station on Soi Sukhumvit 101/1 handles a lot of expat cases and might take it more seriously.

if you got the video on a usb or something, take it straight to the tourist police at the suvarnabhumi airport office, they actually have a fast track for cctv evidence and can issue a report in english. the embassy might give u a list of lawyers who deal with this stuff, but they wont touch the case themselves. also try posting in the "bangkok crime watch" facebook group, the admins there are pretty connected and can often nudge the right people

honestly the embassy wont get involved in criminal stuff, thats what the thai police are for. if you got clear video try filing a formal complaint at the station where the crime happened and ask for a copy of the report, that might help push things. also u could try contacting the british embassy's consular line just to ask if they can flag the case or give u advice on local legal steps, but dont expect them to arrest anyone

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
