True Investigator Stories: Real Cases from Thailand
True Stories from a Thailand Private Investigator
The Names are Changed. The Stories are Real.
Behind every case file is a human story—a person facing doubt, fear, or betrayal. While client confidentiality is our highest priority, these anonymized stories reveal the kinds of situations we resolve every day and the life-changing clarity we provide.
These are not just stories; they are a testament to the power of the truth.
Case Study #1: The German Engineer & the “Isaan Princess”
The Client: Karl, a 55-year-old engineer from Germany.
The Situation: Karl had met “Lek” online. She was a beautiful woman from rural Isaan with a heartbreaking story. Over six months, he sent over $20,000 for her “sick mother’s” hospital bills and to build a new family home. He was planning to move to Thailand to marry her, but a friend’s offhand comment about a common scam made him hesitate.
Our Investigation: We conducted a lifestyle check and background investigation in her home province. We discovered the “sick mother” was perfectly healthy. The new family home did not exist. The money had been used to buy a new pickup truck for Lek’s actual husband. We provided Karl with photos and documentation of our findings.
The Outcome: Karl was devastated but profoundly grateful. He confronted Lek with the evidence, who immediately blocked him. The investigation saved him from losing his entire life savings and moving to Thailand under false pretenses.

Case Study #2: The Suspicious Wife & the “Business Trip” to Pattaya
The Client: Sarah, from Australia.
The Situation: Her husband, Mark, began taking frequent “business trips” to Pattaya—a city known for its nightlife. His behavior changed: he was secretive with his phone, and his stories about his trips felt rehearsed. Sarah needed to know if her marriage was built on a lie.
Our Investigation: Our team in Pattaya conducted discreet surveillance for the duration of Mark’s trip. We documented him visiting go-go bars and spending nights with different women in his hotel, not attending any business meetings.
The Outcome: Sarah received a detailed report with time-stamped photos and videos. Armed with the truth, she was able to confront Mark and make an informed decision about her future. The evidence was also crucial for her divorce proceedings.
Case Study #3: The Cautious Investor & the “Can’t-Miss” Opportunity
The Client: An investment fund based in Singapore.
The Situation: The fund was considering a $500,000 investment in a promising Thai tech startup. The founders were charismatic and the business plan was solid, but something felt off.
Our Investigation: We conducted a deep due diligence check on the company and its founders. While the company was legally registered, we discovered one of the founders had a history of failed businesses and was the subject of a quiet, ongoing fraud investigation in another ASEAN country.
The Outcome: The investment fund canceled the deal. Our report saved them from a half-million-dollar loss and significant legal entanglement.
Case Study #4: The Blackmailed Expat
The Client: David, a British teacher in Bangkok.
The Situation: After a brief online relationship, a woman threatened to send explicit screenshots to his school and family unless he paid 100,000 THB.
Our Investigation: We immediately had David cease all communication. Using digital footprints from the threats, we identified the blackmailer and determined she was part of a small, known sextortion ring operating out of a Bangkok apartment. We gathered our evidence and worked with our contacts in the Thai police to have them apprehended.
The Outcome: The blackmail stopped. David’s reputation was saved, and he could continue his life in Thailand without fear.
