TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around recovering a rental deposit in Thailand. It suggests starting with a complaint to the Office of Consumer Protection Board (OCPB) for assistance. Some users share experiences and offer to help with the process if receipts and a contract are available.

Yes, start a complaint with the OCPB (Office of Consumer Protection Board). The call center number is 1166.
