Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does it cost to hire a private investigator in Thailand?
A: Costs vary significantly based on the case’s complexity, duration, and location. A simple background check may start at a few hundred dollars, while a prolonged infidelity investigation with surveillance will cost more. We provide all clients with a transparent, upfront quote after a confidential consultation. You will never be surprised by hidden fees.
Q: Is it legal to hire a private investigator in Thailand?
A: Yes, provided you hire a licensed agency. Siam Spy is fully licensed and insured. It is critical to ensure your investigator operates within the law, as illegal methods can result in inadmissible evidence and legal trouble for you. Always ask for proof of license.
Q: Can you help me if I’m not in Thailand?
A: Absolutely. The majority of our clients are located overseas. We are experts at managing cases remotely with clear, regular communication via email, WhatsApp, and phone. We become your eyes and ears on the ground.
Q: What is the most common type of case you handle?
A: A significant portion of our work involves relationship investigations (infidelity) and background checks for individuals concerned about a partner or business associate in Thailand. The second most common is corporate due diligence for foreign investors.
Q: Can you get phone records or hack social media accounts?
A: No, and you should avoid any investigator who promises this. These activities are illegal in Thailand. A licensed, ethical investigator gathers evidence through legal means such as surveillance, public record searches, and authorized background checks. Our evidence is always court-admissible.
Q: How do I know I can trust your agency with my sensitive situation?
A: We are licensed, insured, and have a long track record verified by our client testimonials and Google reviews. Discretion is the cornerstone of our business. Your case and your identity are protected by strict confidentiality agreements.
Q: I’m being blackmailed by someone in Thailand. What can I do?
A: This is a serious and time-sensitive matter. Stop all communication and do not send money. Contact us immediately. We can investigate the blackmailer’s identity and work with local authorities to help stop the threat. Visit our dedicated page on Sextortion & Webcam Blackmail for a detailed action plan.
Q: I think my Thai girlfriend is scamming me. What should I do?
A: Trust your instincts. The “Thai girlfriend scam” is unfortunately common. The best course of action is to stop sending money and verify her story. We can conduct a discreet lifestyle investigation and background check to uncover the truth. Read our in-depth guide: The “University Student Freelancer” Scam.
