In a similar report earlier this month, a Tourist Police officer in Trat province acted as an interpreter to resolve a situation involving a Danish man who became distressed at a bus terminal.
The foreign man reportedly missed his bus and subsequently failed to catch his flight home, so he caused a disturbance at the terminal.
The officer managed to calm him down, helped arrange a new bus journey, and assisted with securing a new flight back to his country.
