Guys - appreciate the comments, and yes, agreed, it does raise some interesting questions. Bottom line, I had to pay the rent - I didnt set out to be a Private Eye, but my early days here in LOS, running Hotels etc, meant I ended up with the credentials ; Spoke Thai/Laos/Khamen, had contacts in high places, and also had become friendly with a large number of regular tourists to the Kingdom. I was invariably asked to do small favours, - which in turn led to the TPE Biz. There have been numerous copy cats, but they come and go, probably what stood me out from others, was a very personal involvement, -that being the case, I wouldnt 'rat' on someone I knew, and in fact, think its fair to say, I even saved many board members alot of money and/or embarrasement over the years, - the company of course still continues, and I would say it is better and more proffesionally run these days, of course with tighter restrictions in force nowdays, it does make the business more difficult, and the open type of profile I had, no longer possible.
* I wouldnt contemplate the same type of work in Farangland - I think many are too observant, strangely enough, for all their guile and means of getting money of the farang - I never once had a TG/BG/P4P actually realise I was checking on them ! [ Hence my quote ]
* Also, the majority of TGs have little idea as to security of Mobiles, E-mails etc, When the chance arose, I often told a Guy just to teach his TG how to operate his laptop, insert a password sniffer, then leave her with it and go out for a massage.... 99% of the time that worked a treat !
* Re the above story, - I knew clients didnt always tell me the truth, or anything like it ; I couldnt be sure, but I had a very strong feeling this was an attempted blackmail, or attempt to discredit the Man, and perhaps cost him his job - hence my action.

TPE is right about information security. Most people have no clue and it is hard to find out even if anyone is looking at your machine.
For the most part is is probably best for most of us I think to not worry about things too much. I have learned over the years through various employers for example to not care about what employees are doing on the clock as long as their work gets done and no one gets offended by what they may be viewing.
I say this because I was understandably concerned about my Tirak given her old profession. Had I acted on that or been accusing rather than suspending judgement and just watching I think I would have had problems. In other words too much ham fisted probing or suspicious commentary could have damaged things. in my case it would have been inaccurate as well. Just think passive sonar...they'll never know you were even paying attention. 
In most cases constantly policing IP logs just leads to wasted time and money. In my opinion this is just like watching your partner too much. If you have a constant worry that your mate is screwing around then you IMHO would be better off just to trade her in than to do the whole dramatic confrontation thingy.
I tried to look at this from a normal BGs perspective. In any given week they might consider themselves lucky and cursed to have a farang sweating on them all night. But in most of these transactions they don't know where their next meal may be coming from (tube steak or stir fry) so they play the field. Sometimes it may be better for our man to accept that he's driving a rented scooter.
There are a number of free downloads that can tell you quickly what's up but do you really want to hear it. I won't put any links in this reply because I don't want to bad Karma for raining on anyone's parade. I think if you must know active listening and casual observation will foil most of these little foxes.
Remember most of us are older and more expereinced in many ways socially than your average BG. I thought TPE's latest comments about BGs having nary a clue about Info security to be spot on. The "arms race" hasn't reached this level yet in LOS....
Gentlemen you still have the home field advantage here. Please be careful not to tip your hand though or the results could backfire spectacuarly...

I take it you never heard of a keylogger program? Check it out it might save you some big bucks in divorce court.
I am far from an expert on internet security but my 20 year experience in Industrial computer systems gives me a little back-ground.
My "primary" PC connects to the net through an old Pentium 3 based PC that is basically set up as a server / fire wall. That together with the inbuilt microsoft professional fire wall and auto running ( each 12 hours) of Symantech and also Ad-aware programmes has seen my PC clean for over 3 years. I use my PC for banking so YES I am very aware of the risks and take more than the appropriate security actions.
Anyway,, back to the point in question,,,,,
RE: TPE,,,I have not read any info suggesting his is anything less than honest and forthright.
His communications on this board have always been positive and helpfull,,,, in fact I would trust him to take care of my problems in LOS.

I think BigD might have been suggesting that oyu install a keylogger and check the file after your BG uses the PC. Ad-Aware will catch most keyloggers so you'll wnat to disable it to do the "dirty deed".

Ummmm what can I say ??? PARANOID certainly springs to mind ! - I would say 90 % of the jobs I did were on behalf of Guys, who in most cases were getting ripped off by TGs - Yes, some cases were for women, usually wives of Guys based in LOS - of course not much doubt what the result was there either, but any wife who lets her husband take a posting in Bangkok in my book is in a marriage thats finished anyway !
Maybe I can impose on BK to, for your benefit Alan, attach yet another chapter from the soon to be published TPE files, - which is perhaps typifies my style, the fact I needed to pay the rent, but also like to see fair play.... this case concerned a supposed Chinese Client, - you may have to wait a while until BK gets a chance to add it here, but it is worth a read -

"The company of course still continues, and I would say it is better and more professionally run these days, of course with tighter restrictions in force nowadays, it does make the business more difficult, and the open type of profile I had, no longer possible. "
Thank you young man. I try my best to continue growing and expanding the business using the same moral standards and values that you built your reputation upon.

You are welcome to air your opinion.
There will always be those who have been caught out in the past. But, instead of blaming themselves for their poor judgment and misbehavior they blame others. Therefore lies their biased opinion...
We at TPE do a lot more than just spy on wayward husbands, lovers, wives girlfriends, boyfriends etc.
For example:
We recently located a Vietnam Veterans daughter (now living in Germany) who had been missing for more then 30 years. That brought smiles all round.
In addition we assisted in the covert tracking down and subsequent arrest of a child molester. He won't come back to Thailand ever again!
Then there is the case where, through our “snooping” we saved a good honest hard working man from losing not only all his money, but the custody of his daughter.
Finally, through our previous involvement in the search for missing persons in the aftermath of the December 2004 Tsunami, we were later approached by a major (international) news network to assist in the search for a missing 2 year old child.
The Thai Police had their hands full (understandably) and the mother naturally wanted immediate results.
It was suspected that Burmese peasants had taken the child across the border and that the child would be sold or even held for ransom.
From the investigations we carried out on both sides of the border involving Thai and Burmese police, I believe to this day that a plan was in the making to extract money from the mother for information that did not exist! We put a stop to that little caper which went some way to dispel the fear his mother had, that somehow her child had been kidnapped.
Unfortunately, we were unable to find the him.
His remains were eventually identified via DNA a few months later. That case was heartbreaking.
It gives you a whole new perspective on life when one experiences such tragic loss and pain at first hand.
So if anyone thinks we are assholes then fine, I don’t worry about the little stuff anymore.
We only report the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts.

ps. We also offer a refund policy. I know of no other PI in the world that can state that!

Quote: from Alannumberone on 3:45 pm on Sep. 22, 2005
However I have difficulty in accepting that he should accept instruction from a western wife and go on to investigate the monger husband,and make that report back to her...
What do you guys think?
TPE has a business to run. His job is to provide services to paying clients.
That said, on another question, lets say TPE has met BTFMemberA personally and knows his identity is Mr. Joe Blow. Later, TPE is contacted out of the blue by Mrs. Joe Blow and she wants to contract his services to find out what Mr. Joe Blow is doing. TPE knows that Mr. Joe Blow is really BTFMemberA. What should/would TPE do?
Good question CG.
The answer is simply this.
I would try to avoid a conflict of interest and maybe decline the job.
But then it gets deeper...Much deeper...
If I know "BTFMemberA" personally as a friend or colleague then ethics come into the equation!
Do I...
a) Tell him his wife is trying to catch him!
He may then tell me to proceed and paint him squeeky clean. After all its probably his money anyway.
b) Ignore it as it's not my problem!
He may find out that I was aware of the situation, when she employs someone else to burn him. Then were do I stand?
c) Tell his wife I know him and I can't betray him!
That way she may give up on the idea and save his money.
My answer has been PM'd to BK and will be revealed in due course.
I am interested in what you would do...
TPE II
Edit: For some reason, I could not PM BK so I sent it to myself timed and dated. Let's see what you guys think...
