In Khrung Thep/Bangkok, on Rama IV Road(Thanon Phra Ram IV)at the corner of Thanon Si Phraya/Si Phraya Road ,which is near Thanon Silom/Silom Road ,there is a booth similar to a large police booth.
One night at about maybe 7 or 8 pm there was a car with a circular printed badge on the door and maybe the words 'Ruankatanyu Foundation' on the badge,and the car was parked next to the booth.

A Farang was the driver and he was wearing a uniform with a white shirt and maybe a shoulder badge and shoulder stripes, similar to a soldier.He may have entered the booth.
What is his occupation or reason for being there?
Is he a type of bilingual informal policeman to assist tourists in trouble ?
Is he there to help people in a traffic accident?
Is he a volunteer?

What is the Ruankatanyu Foundation?

Raumkatanyuu foundation is a community service based organisation which carries out all kinds of services to people in distress, Road accident clearance, assisting at fires, rescuing people who are in danger from floods etc etc and along with their main competitors, the larger "Por Teck Teung" foundation they are known as the "Body Snatchers of Bangkok" as collecting dead bodies from accident scenes, suicides etc and transporting them to hospitals/morgues is one of their main sources of income, and the two groups compete fiercely for the "business"
