If you're trying to verify someone's education records in Thailand — whether they are currently attending university, completed a course, or have claimed qualifications — there are important things to understand about how education records are handled in the country.
Can I check someone's university or school attendance online?
No, you cannot check university or school attendance just by typing their name into a database.
There is no centralised system or public education portal in Thailand that allows you to look up whether someone is currently going to school or university. If you’re trying to check if someone is going to school in Thailand or enrolled at a specific university, you’ll need to contact the institution directly.
How are university records handled in Thailand?
Each university or school in Thailand maintains its own academic records independently.
There is no nationwide database where Thai university records or school attendance can be searched. If you want to verify a Thai degree or confirm someone's educational background, you’ll need to make direct enquiries with the relevant institution. This includes verifying the authenticity of Thai degrees or checking qualifications claimed on a CV or application.
Can I check school or university records as part of a background check?
Yes, education verification is possible as part of a background check.
We often assist clients who want to confirm if a Thai university degree is real or verify academic records from schools in Thailand. This must be done on a case-by-case basis, by contacting the institution directly to confirm the individual’s claimed education. Whether you're trying to confirm attendance, degree authenticity, or graduation status — it all depends on the cooperation of the specific school or university.
What other records can be checked in Thailand?
Several other types of records are easier to check than education records:
- Employment history
- Marriage and divorce history
- Civil litigation check
- Family background and personal history
- Criminal records (where accessible)
- Online presence, including dating profiles and adult material
These types of data are often included in our
background check service, which can be tailored to fit your specific needs.
Why should you consider a background check?
Background checks are highly recommended if you're in a relationship with someone from Thailand.If you’re romantically involved with a Thai woman and you’re unsure of her background — whether academic, personal, or marital — then a background check can provide essential clarity. Thai law permits a husband to sue his wife's lover, so if she’s married, this could have serious consequences for you.
We offer:
- Pre-marital background checks
- Pre-employment background checks (for employers)
- Romantic background checks (with or without marriage plans)
- Verification of Thai university degrees and academic qualifications
While background checks do not typically include surveillance, it is possible to add what we call a lifestyle check — a discreet surveillance service which helps to understand someone's real-world movements, daily habits, and whether their lifestyle aligns with what they claim. This can be especially useful if you're unsure about their university attendance or general honesty. Our surveillance fee depends on the location of the case. If you'd like a quote, please let us know exactly where the work would take place.

In summary
You cannot check if someone is attending university or school in Thailand using a public or centralised database.
If you're trying to check if someone is enrolled in school in Thailand or confirm academic attendance, this information is only available by directly contacting the relevant school or university. There is no one-click solution or national system to look this up.
We can help verify Thai academic qualifications and degrees as part of a background check.If you need to confirm whether a Thai degree is legitimate or whether someone has actually attended the school or university they claim, we can make discreet, direct inquiries on your behalf. A lifestyle check (surveillance) may also be added if needed to observe someone's actual behaviour and routine.
