About Bangkok Private Investigators

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Bangkok Private Investigators. Choosing the right private investigator can have a direct impact on the outcome of a case and the quality of the evidence obtained. Unfortunately, the private investigation industry in Thailand is largely unregulated, which allows inexperienced or unqualified operators to present themselves as professionals through paid advertising and polished websites.

We see such operators appear, then disappear, every year. To avoid costly mistakes or outright scams, it is important to choose an established investigation agency with a genuine track record.

Focused Exclusively on Private Investigations

Unlike many companies that advertise investigation services, we are solely private investigators. We do not offer web design, consulting, visa services, legal services, insurance services, or any other unrelated work.

Our business is investigations only. Nothing more, nothing less.

We strongly encourage prospective clients to research any company they intend to hire and to understand its core business. In our professional view, detective agencies are best suited to conducting private investigations.

Our aim is to deliver accurate results, properly documented evidence, and clear communication throughout the process. We have a long-established record of meeting and exceeding client expectations where possible.

Registered, Legitimate, and Accountable

We are a DBD registered company operating in accordance with Thai government regulations. Our business is formally registered in Thailand and operates through a corporate structure, not as an individual or informal operation.

Clients should be cautious of any company that requests payment to a personal bank account. As a registered business, we operate using business bank accounts, which provides transparency and accountability for our clients.

Secure and Confidential Communications

We use Tuta, widely regarded as the world’s most secure email service, for all communications. Clients are encouraged to register with Tuta to ensure fully end-to-end encrypted correspondence. Emails sent from other providers are automatically encrypted once they reach our inbox.

Bangkok Investigators in the Media

Thailand private investigators raise alarm over increasing number of PPE scams - June 2021

The onset of the pandemic led to a significant rise in internet-based fraud, particularly involving personal protective equipment and medical supplies. We responded by raising awareness of the issue and offering a low-cost due diligence service that helped protect dozens of businesses from online fraud.

Please note: In approximately 90 percent of missing person cases, launching a media appeal is not advisable for a variety of reasons. We never disclose confidential information without written permission from our clients. In rare cases, and only under client instruction, we have conducted media campaigns, examples of which are shown below.

US vet seeks lost love one last time - November 2020

In 2020 we were contacted by U.S. Army veteran Doctor William Bruce, who required assistance locating a former acquaintance in Chiang Mai. He was unable to remember her name and had only old photographs to work from.

After an initial investigation produced no leads, we were instructed to launch a controlled social media campaign and to contact selected media outlets. The story was shared more than 6,000 times on Thai-language Facebook pages and was eventually seen by a family member.

The family member confirmed that the woman was alive and well, allowing Doctor Bruce to make contact after more than 50 years.

After over 50 years, U.S. army veteran finds his long-lost Thai sweetheart - December 2020

Missing tourist found by private investigators in Pattaya, Thailand - September 2019

In this case, our client wished to raise awareness about the risks faced by inexperienced or vulnerable individuals in Thailand. While the client awaited responses from other companies, we began our investigation within nine hours and successfully located the individual within 24 hours.

We were then instructed to safeguard the missing tourist and ensure their safe return to the United Kingdom.

Customer Testimonials

Due to the personal and sensitive nature of our work, many clients understandably choose not to leave public testimonials. We are grateful to those who do, and we welcome additional feedback upon request.
