Private Detectives in Thailand

Although based in Perth, API’s Private Detectives have been conducting on-ground investigations in Thailand since 2001. At first, we tried local private investigators, and we could never get the result required.


To conduct investigations in Thailand, you must have a person who is honest, speaks and writes both Thai and English to overcome the red tape if you are chasing documentation or talking to authorities.


API has achieved this, and there are many operatives working for us when necessary.

Thailand Associations

API are lucky to have an associate in Chiang Mai, a retired Australian Federal Policeman who speaks fluent Thai and his wife of 18 years, a Thai National, who is fluent in speaking and writing English and Thai. Our associate is also a Thai Tourist Policeman of many years. He understands the legal system and has helped many foreign tourists who have got themselves in trouble with the law.


The success rate of our private detectives in Thailand is 85%.

A Past Thailand Investigation Success STORY

In 2002, an offender murdered his brother-in-law in a Perth suburb and disappeared to Indonesia, ending up in Thailand. The last Perth Police heard of his whereabouts was in 2004 at a Bangkok bar in Soi Seven called the "Winking Frog". In January 2009, two of API's investigators door knocked and handed out wanted brochures in the area in Bangkok and were able to establish the offender was seen in the area living with a prostitute around Christmas 2008. This information was given to Perth Detectives, and they rejuvenated their enquiry with Thai authorities.

The offender was apprehended in August 2010 for a breach of immigration laws and was extradited to Perth. He is now awaiting trial on a charge of wilful murder.


API was not involved in the arrest of this man, but the information that he was seen in Thailand in 2008 assisted police in alerting the Thai Authorities that he was there.
