Swedish man lost passport
I'm sat next to a Swedish guy who has lost his passport. The embassy is closed today and he cannot contact his family back home.
I've offered to sub him for the time being but he needs to get something sorted regarding funds and new passport. I've told him about the tourist police who will be around on WS later and I'll show him where the police station is on Beach Road.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what he can do with regard help from the authorities over the weekend?

Things are getting clearer. He lost his wallet ( I assumed passport was in there). It contains all his money and air ticket.
He does have the departure visa thingy in his passport. He is flying with thai air. Now talking about flying home earlier to avoid cost of staying in LOS.
He does not have travel insurance.
Hakan (Tarzan) is helping out in Sweden.

A fine example of BMs pulling together and assisting someone in trouble.
Well done boys - you are mentioned in dispaches.

I have not told him about that yet 55555555555
I've just given him a map showing him where the immigration police and Thai airways are.
He has not actually lost his passport - everything else including his brain maybe, so I don't think he needs to contact the Swedish Embassy. His father will wire some money over in the next day or so.

Good man Sir Jizzer. You and Hakan have helped this guy out enormously
Could be a new pair of strides in this for you.

Yeah good work guys.
Must admit I would have immediately thought this was a scam set-up. But it does happen.
