The insignia of a Police Captain has 3 stars while the insignia of the actor "Captain" in the movie has 1 star with a crown; this is the rank of a Police Major.
It looks as though the "Captain" in the movie is the chief of a Bangkok Police Station. This is incorrect. Particularly in Bangkok, all police station chiefs must have a rank of Police Colonel, which would have 3 stars with a crown in his insignia. "Captain" has 1 star and a crown, which is the rank of a Police Major while a Police Captain, which is of a lower rank, would have 3 stars in insignia. A Police Major would likely at most be a deputy to a division (Investigation, Traffic Control, Crime Suppression, and etc.) chief at that police station. All division chiefs report to the Police Station Chief.
