Investigating My Thai Girlfriend in Bangkok: A Case Study

When I first met “Ploy” online, I thought I’d found someone truly special. She worked at a bar on Soi Cowboy in Bangkok, a place with a bit of a reputation, but she assured me her job was strictly about serving drinks and chatting with customers. She swore she never went to customers’ hotel rooms or engaged in anything like “pay-for-play.” Her nightly phone calls after work—where she’d insist she was heading straight back to her room—seemed like proof enough that she was being honest.
We talked constantly, day and night, and I even started sending money to help her improve her family’s home in the village. But despite her reassurances, something about the situation didn’t feel right. Everywhere I looked online, I found posts warning about dating Thai bar girls and the risks of being scammed. I didn’t want to believe it, but I also couldn’t ignore the doubt growing inside me.
Eventually, I decided to put my mind at ease and hired Bangkok Investigators. From the first conversation, their team was prompt, professional, and very understanding. I explained my concerns, and they quickly came up with a plan.
The First Investigation
The team suggested starting with a honeytrap investigation—a decoy who would visit the bar and approach Ploy to test her reactions. On the night of the first visit, the decoy showed up at her bar, but Ploy wasn’t there. When I confronted her about it, she insisted she’d been at work as usual. It felt strange, but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.
We tried again a few nights later. Once more, Ploy wasn’t there. This time, I asked the investigator to talk to the bar staff. They told him she wasn’t even in Bangkok—she was back in her home village. Yet, she continued to tell me over the phone that she was working at the bar every night.
The Third Attempt
By now, the whole situation was messing with my head. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and I knew I needed clear answers. I asked the investigator to visit the bar for a third honeytrap attempt. Finally, Ploy was there.
The undercover agent struck up a conversation with her, posing as a potential customer. To my shock, she agreed to go back to his hotel for “short time” services. When he asked where she’d been on the previous nights, she candidly told him that she’d been with an older German customer.
As if that weren’t enough, she also gave her phone number to the investigator and continued messaging him afterwards, claiming she was single and expressing a serious interest in him... If she was interested in the investigator, then how many other men was she currently in touch with? How many guys were in love with her and waiting to come back to see her?
What I Learned
The experience was a real eye-opener. For months, I’d believed her nightly calls and promises that she was different from the stereotypes about Thai bar girls. But her actions during the investigation told a very different story. It became clear that she wasn’t being honest about where she was, who she was with, or her intentions.
If you’re dating a Thai lady—especially one connected to the nightlife scene in Bangkok or other cities—I can’t stress enough how important it is to do your due diligence. Even if she seems genuine, there’s always a chance she could be running a romance scam or juggling multiple foreign boyfriends for financial support.
Why I Recommend Bangkok Investigators
Hiring Bangkok Investigators was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They were fast, efficient, and completely discreet. They gave me the clarity I needed to make an informed decision about my relationship, and I can’t thank them enough.
If you’re dating a Thai girlfriend—whether she’s in the nightlife industry or not—it’s worth considering an investigation to ensure everything is as it seems. Romance scams are unfortunately common, especially among Thai women who speak good English and actively seek out foreign partners.
Thanks to Bangkok Investigators, I now have peace of mind and the confidence to move forward without doubts hanging over my head. If you’re in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to contact them. It could save you a lot of heartbreak—and money—in the long run.
