Asset Investigation in Thailand — Know What a Debtor Owns Before You Sue
Winning a judgment you cannot enforce is a common and expensive outcome. Tracing assets before litigation or before enforcement lets you and your lawyer decide whether to sue or negotiate, and what can actually be seized. We find verifiable asset leads from lawful sources and field work and hand them to your lawyer for the steps that require the court.
Assets we trace and how
- Real estate: houses, condominiums and land — from field visits, listings and the land-office channels available to interested parties
- Vehicles in actual use — from observation in public places
- Businesses: companies, directorships and shareholdings — from Thailand's public business registry
- Income sources and current workplace — from field visits and open sources
- Signs of assets transferred after a demand or lawsuit — for your lawyer to consider a fraudulent-transfer claim
Working with your lawyer
Some data, such as full title deeds or bank accounts, is available only to interested parties through the court or the Legal Execution Department. Our job is to produce complete, verifiable leads so your lawyer can file precisely, saving time and cost at the enforcement stage. We routinely work with Thai and foreign law firms.
Before suing vs. after judgment
Before suing: to decide whether litigation is worthwhile, and to plan interim measures. After judgment: to identify assets for seizure or garnishment and follow assets moved out of reach. The method is the same; the report is shaped to the stage you are at.
Cost
Depends on the number of debtors, the area and the depth of verification. Law firms and lenders usually work with us per case. You receive a written quote before we start.

Frequently asked questions
Can you find the debtor's bank accounts?
No. Bank data is protected and reachable only through the court or the Legal Execution Department. We can identify which banks a debtor appears to use from open sources, so your lawyer can target a garnishment order.
The debtor has already transferred assets. What now?
We trace the transfers and the recipients so your lawyer can assess a claim to set the transfers aside under Thai law.
How long does it take?
An initial asset trace usually takes a few days to two weeks depending on the area and the number of assets to verify.
Do you work with foreign law firms?
Yes, regularly. We brief and report in English and format reports for use in Thai enforcement proceedings.
