(1) In case of urgency, either Contracting Party may request the provisional arrest of any accused or convicted person. Application for provisional arrest shall be made through the diplomatic channel or directly between the Department of Justice in the United States of America and the Ministry of Interior in Thailand, in which case the communication facilities of Interpol may be used.
(2) The application shall contain: a description of the person sought ; the location of that person, if know ; a brief statement of the facts of the case including, if possible, the time and location of the offense ; a statement of the existence of a warrant of arrest or a judgment of conviction against that person, as referred to in Article 9; and a statement that a request for extradition of the person sought will follow.
(3) The Requesting State shall be notified without delay of the result of its application.
(4) Provisional arrest shall be terminated if, within a period of 60 days after the arrest of the person sought, the competent authority of the Requested State has not received the formal request for extradition and the supporting documents required by Article 9.
(5) The termination of provisional arrest pursuant to paragraph (4) of this Article shall not prejudice the extradition of the person sought if the extradition request and the supporting documents mentioned in Article 9 are delivered at a later date.

ARTICLE 11
Decision and Surrender

(1) The Requested State shall communicate without delay through the diplomatic channel to the Requesting State its decision on the request for extradition.
(2) The Requested State shall provide reasons for any partial or complete rejection of the request for extradition.
(3) If the extradition has been granted, surrender of the person sought shall take place within such time as may be prescribed by the laws of the Requested State. The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall agree on the time and place of the surrender of the person sought. If, however, that person is not removed from the territory of the Requested State within the prescribed time, that person may be set at liberty and the Requested State may subsequently refuse extradition for the same offense.

ARTICLE 12
Deferred Surrender

If the extradition request is granted in the case of a person who is being proceeded against or is serving a sentence in the territory of the Requested State for a different offense, the Requested State may defer the surrender of the person sought until the conclusion of the proceedings against that person, or the full execution of any punishment that may be or may have been imposed.
