The Importance of Reputation

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Especially in a country where private investigators are not required to get licenses or certifications or even qualifications to practice the trade, it is very important for PI agencies to establish a good rapport and reputation as industry players.
Since Thailand has no law or requirement for private investigation agencies and private investigators to have a licence, one can simple set up shop and call his business a “private investigation agency” himself a “private investigator”. But the sad truth is that many… Read More

Is change for cheaters?

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Many of our readers have gone through some sort of brush in with cheaters. Be it on a professional or on a personal and intimate level, that experience is not always a pleasant one. And then comes the proverbial question: Will they change? Can they even change to begin with?
To be fair, cheaters CAN change, but it is not up to you, it will always be up to them. It’s important to realize that upfront. The decision you have is whether or not you should give them a chance or should you just walk away and move on. Conventional and practical… Read More

Sad, But True

Friday, December 30th, 2011


The image we conjure the image in our heads of two old people in love (think super, super old), we generally think of diamond commercials featuring wrinkled hands clasped in everlasting adoration. We think of happy couples who bicker affectionately after decades spent loving one another, fighting, making up and making babies. We do not think of divorce.
But for one couple in Italy, divorce court is exactly where they are headed. And the only difference between them and the other millions of couples who divorce around the world is their… Read More

Friday, December 9th, 2011

It’s been said time and again, and the reminders are everywhere.
It always pays to be careful with the Thai girls you date or go out with. There are many, many articles on the web and a couple on this site that talk about the risks you take when you trust your Thai girlfriend too much. There have been countless news reports and articles about how many expats have been left metaphorically and literally with their pants down, embarrassed to the core, because they trusted their girlfriends and one night partners too much.

Understanding the ‘rules’ of the game

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

It can be very difficult to catch a cheating partner.
Understandably, most people do not know how to investigate a partner. But, if you want to catch a cheater, it often helps to understand the nature of the problem at hand.
Why is it so difficult to catch a cheating partner? Catching a cheating partner is difficult because cheaters have an unfair advantage when it comes to infidelity. In fact, most infidelity goes undetected, or unproven, because the rules of the game tend to favor those who cheat.

If It Smells Fishy, Stay Away From It

Friday, July 15th, 2011
Sometimes it happens that we get a case or two which involves people being involved in some kind of illegal activity. Most often, they never really know what’s happening or what laws they broke – they were scammed into committing illegal acts. Sometimes there are also people who involve themselves in it because of the money or payoff involved – and oftentimes their rationale is because no one gets hurt. . We understand that it is hard for many to completely grasp not only the culture, but also the laws in a certain place. Especially… Read More

Sound Advice for Blossoming Relationships

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Let us just say this up front: We really believe that Thailand is a wonderful country. We’ve been here for so many years, and we appreciate the warmth and the culture of the people here.

Friday, December 17th, 2010

We were supposed to blog about the second part of the ethics series we began with monitoring in the business. but we had a recent client whose case warrants special mention.

.

While the case itself is not really spectacular – believe us, few ones are – the gravity of the situation the client found himself in illustrates the importance of very simple and fundamental pointers… Read More
