    You're correct a crest and verified with a red stamp.

    Basically you caused some minor damage and the guards are trying to take advantage.. The fact that no police have been involved so far suggests they haven't been told.

    I don't know if the police have been involved or not because I didn't hang around last night. Maybe I should have done. I don't know if any police attended then but they didn't come to my apartment in the morning and there was no red stamp on the sheet they showed me.

    I'm very glad to know that the damage is minor. I haven't got a clue how much a door or glass costs but 50,000 is ridiculous. Does anyone know if new glass can be fitted into the existing aluminium doorframe or are they supplied as a job lot, glass already installed. I saw a thin rubber strip on the ground and hanging out of the door that must have held the glass in before

    I feel scared that these people know where I live and have already proved that they will bang on my door in a group. I'm also angry that the people at my apartment must be helping them.

    I prefer to think it over for a while. If I'd dealt with it quickly that would have meant a trip to the atm to get 50,000 this morning. By taking my time I've now learned that this is a crazy amount. I've also realised that yes the police might not even be really involved. I will see them tomorrow when I've thought more about it.

    I had a new glass sheet fitted to our shower door.
    Cost 400 baht for a full door size plate including fitting.
    An outside door will be larger and the glass should be a lot thicker

    I would guess 1000-1500 baht

    I'm sorry for hogging the forum attention guys, and thanks. I hope this thread might be useful to anyone else who gets in this situation.

    I'm beginning to be fairly sure that these guys are aiming to make a months amount or more of their wages out of me each. It is horrible.

    Thai people ARE horrible, and don't you forget it.

    Fortunately there are plenty of nice ones about who are not horrible, greedy or racist. Is there one of these who you know that could help out in any way? Perhaps translate the report for starters.

    I didn't say that. I said it is a horrible situation. It has ruined my weekend and could cost me a month's salary for nothing.

    I haven't got the report so I can't get it translated, yet.

    I'm trying to relax but I feel so helpless. I'd know exactly what to do in my home country but I haven't been in Thailand very long and I don't know much about the law, the police, or the price of things like glass and aluminium frames here.

    So I feel very exposed to being manipulated and I don't want this situation to tarnish what a good time I've had working here so far. If it costs me 50,000 Baht it will tarnish it very much and I will consider quitting my job and going home, really. It will stop me feeling comfortable and relaxed in my daily life if I know I can be targeted and manipulated like this so easily.

    I got to agree, stop your panicking and just sort it out

    dont feel intimidated, go to the police and make a report that the guards were trying to rip you off and showing a false police report

    then get a gun and ....

    actually, a CMN troll (Sorry Scampy)

    He has been very quiet this afternoon, very unlike him, unless he is at the bar getting drunk

    I don't know what those two people are rattling on about and I don't care. Please, if anyone with useful opinions or advice reads this thread later today, please contribute. I'll check in later tonight or tomorrow morning.

    Thanks

    despite obvious good advice, he kept stiring the plot

    also look how fast he went quiet when outed, and leaving quickly when busted

    Takes one to know one and I agree with BF (for once). Surprised nobody else called the bluff. But it's nice to see people trying to help.
