Find prisoners in Thailand - prisoner location and assistance

If you suspect that your family member or friend might be locked up or detained at a prison or jail in Thailand then we recognize that such situations can be extremely stressful and finding your loved one as soon as possible is always the top priority. 

We maintain an amicable relationship with police stations and prisons around the country, and our researchers are able to locate inmates serving prison sentences as well as people that may have been recently arrested.

Finding prisoners in Thailand

We are often contacted by people that have tried and failed to locate their family members in Thai jails. Language barriers and communication difficulties can make this task more difficult if you are not able to communicate in the local language. Often explaining a date of birth and the exact spelling of a person’s name can be difficult if you find yourself being connected to people that aren’t able to speak English very well. In many cases the fine details can make all the difference, and being able to understand everything is therefore critical.

In some areas there might be multiple different police stations where an individual could be detained at and yet more potential prisons where they might be incarcerated in. It is therefore often necessary to inquire with many different establishments before the subject is successfully located.

Due to the lack of a 'Thailand prisoner search' or 'online inmate finder' resource for Thailand, searching for and locating a serving inmate can often mandate investigators to take a more analog approach.

Thai girlfriend in jail 

Has your girlfriend suddenly been locked in a Thai prison or jail? Are you now being asked to wire over large sums of money to help secure her bail or release? We are often instructed to help search for the girlfriends of foreign men that claim to be locked in a jail, and the claims are often found to be fabricated. Read our Thai dating/romance scams blog post for more information on this subject.

How we can help

We are able to check and see whether or not a person is currently incarcerated in a Thai prison. Once we have found the subject’s location our client may ask for us to visit the subject in prison and deliver messages, money, or other forms of aid. We are often able to offer recommendations on law firms that can offer legal advice and other assistance where necessary. 

If you need our help in finding someone that may be incarcerated in a Thai prison then please feel free to get in touch with one of our experienced team members for a free, no pressure quote. Please include as much information about the case as possible - i.e. Is the subject a Thai citizen or a foreign national? Do you know which specific police station arrested them? Are you able to send us a photo of their ID card (or passport)? If not then do you have their full name/date of birth? - This information will enable us to assess the case and provide a free quote.

We are also able to provide criminal record checks in Thailand and general background checks.
