According to the Penal Codes practiced in the kingdom, there are a number of instances that criminal activities can result in an incarceration or jail time. In addition to Thailand’s penal codes, there are other laws and acts that was later amended into the law.
In most cases, the first step is an investigation conducted by the police force, different administrative bodies of the Thai government or simply a private inspector. As soon as enough proof is gathered to file for a criminal case, a bail of certain amount would be asked for which can vary depending on whether the individual is of Thai nationality or not.
In Thailand, juries are not used to ascertain whether an individual is guilty of a crime or not. Instead, in a typical criminal court rooms, there will be three judges present. The suspect’s detention will be evaluated on a periodic basis while the detainee is awaiting trial in custody.
