Do You Want to Know the Truth?

At first glance, the advent of private investigations firms popping up like mushrooms might look good, but in truth, it’s not as fine a trend as you might think.

.

Since Thailand does not require private investigators to procure a license or undergo any sort exam or test to establish qualifications, how are clients supposed to distinguish between a legitimate private investigator from someone who’s trying to pass himself as one? Who’s to say that the person you’re consulting with doesn’t know the first thing about investigating and doing background checks? Is he familiar with the territory? Is he discreet? Does he know what kind of questions to ask and who to talk to? Does he have the right connections?

It’s easy to let yourself get carried away by promises of quality work for dirt cheap prices, but we all know quality can’t be bargained with. There are people who can do the job well, and there are those who just try to copy the real thing.

Here at Thailand-Investigation.com, we are the real thing. I myself am a former police investigator for the Belgium police force, and am thus very knowledgeable regarding the various investigative techniques that only a person with prior police experience can have. I am used to dealing with people from all walks of life; I know what kind of questions to ask; I know what kind of information is useful, and what kind of information is not. My experience with the police also has given me insight into the criminal mind—which some cases require. I am familiar with the different kinds of modus operandi by both big or small-time crooks. And through the years I’ve spent here in Thailand, I’ve established a wide network of contacts that make for more efficient and accurate results.

I’ve had a number of clients who have had the misfortune of picking the wrong private investigation agency, and were swayed by the ridiculously cheap price tag. But when the time came to produce results, all these agencies offered were excuses and requests for extension (which of course would entail more payment from the client).

.

There are also some who actually pretend to offer quality or high-end investigative services – they disguise themselves by offering high rates so that unsuspecting clients will think that the operation isn’t just run by some hack pretending to know what he’s doing.

.

The bottom line is to make sure that you can trust you private investigator. After all, the relationship between a client and the investigator he or she hires is based mainly on trust. While results don’t always come when or how you expect it to be, genuine PIs will always give you legitimate reasons for any unforeseen circumstance and are always willing to talk it out with you. While this is a business, we also understand that you have considerations of your own – we ourselves know that setbacks are a part of the job, and always just thinking of payment or financial remuneration will definitely distract us from the job at hand.
