Finding Thai relatives
I am looking for my grandmother's family in Thailand.
Can anyone help me trace them?
Her name is Pratuang Sthapornpol and she is born in Thailand.
She is 83 or 84 years old. She moved from Thailand with my dad and had two other children here. She is born in Bangkok.
Any help on where I can find information or hire help would be appreciated!

Do you have more specific information like city or area?

An important first step would be to try to get the correct Thai spelling for your grandmother's name and any other relatives you can. That will help with internet research, since most potential source records in Thailand will be in Thai rather than English. (I suspect the name may be ประเทือง and am fairly confident the surname is สถาพรผล, but you would want to confirm.)
If you do not type or read in Thai, you might consider making an appointment for a free 20-minute online consultation with a volunteer (me) through the Salt Lake FamilySearch Library (https://www.familysearch.org/en/library/genealogy-help).
If you do understand Thai, you could consider viewing this RootsTech video on 7 Tips for Researching Thai Family History: https://www.familysearch.org/th/rootstech/session/7-เคล-ดล-บในการทำประว-ต-ครอบคร-วไทย?lang=tha
Hope this gives you a couple of ideas for possible next steps.
