TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain a Police Clearance Certificate (PPC) in Thailand, it is advised to visit a specific police clearance center depending on your location. For instance, Bangkok has a dedicated center, while other provinces may have different designated offices. It is generally not available for free; costs can vary, with some having reported charges around 1,000 to 5,000 THB. The process may take approximately two weeks, and local immigration offices cannot assist with this matter.

Depends where you are in Thailand. In Phuket there is a specific office that you go to apply. Not a police station. A specific office. Other provinces may have different places. In Bangkok there is a dedicated police clearance centre.

Local immigration offices won’t be able to help.

for a job abroad you’d need to get the certificate from Bangkok. Phuket just does certificates for jobs in Phuket.

Go to the police station and ask them it's not free and I think that it's going to take about 2 weeks
