LawrenceChee Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Anyone know any ad hoc body guard company here in CM ? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The police. (Not kidding; you can arrange their services for a fee, either on duty in uniform or off.) Of course depending on what you have in mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeichen Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 There was an article in City Life a few years ago about a company that does it. Not cheap though if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Must really want a bodyguard,posted twice!, If someone is after you better choice maybe to move and keep running. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancnx Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Tend to agree..... Might be better to lay low for a while out of sight. Also it depends where the perceived threat is coming from. Your bodyguard would be easily identified and might just be persuaded to switch employers..... Good luck. If money is absolutely no object I can put you in touch with an English speaking international security company based in SE Asia who might consider working with you. Expensive!

elektrified Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I would run if I were you! Seriously, no joke. The body guard could be bought off way too easily! You can read about it happening often. Best of luck to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemoncake Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Depends on your budget and level of protection you want. On Craiglist, there is a guy advertising out of BKK i believe, he is claiming to be an ex special forces of some kind. If its a serious matter, get onto international company's but be prepared to pay HUGE money, because a really skilled bodyguard can cost anywhere from $200-$3000 per hour. A somewhat ok bodyguard starts at $100 per hour and wanna be bodyguard starts at $50 per hour. On a yearly basis, for a decent bodyguard $200 000 per year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro rated for an 8 hr day that would be just short of $7 million per year. Hmmmmm In my limited experience (I am only indirectly connected to such) $1000 per day would be closer to the mark freelance. More if contracting a security company directly due to added costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousehound Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 As long as they are aiming at you then you are pretty safe. I have seen Thais shooting and only bystanders are at risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind high risk means high chance of bodyguard being killed not the client, so $3000/hour is not all the much considering you could be killed few hours later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceChee Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Had the guards for the day and it was good. They are discreet and stand at the right places with the right body language These off duty police cops are good for that as hoc requirement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Can't you train one of those Dachshunds? Keep us informed. The only guy I ever knew who wanted one was looking into getting a policeman. He had a Tourist Policeman offer to do it for a price but the guy was not exactly what you would call trustful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Just go to almost any falung bar and you will find at least 2 or 3 ex SAS para-troopers / navy seals / soldiers of fortune types willing to work for you if you buy the next round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and if you want them to be millionaire former CEO's, Harvard Law professors, or retired brain surgeons, they will be those, too. You can be anything you want in Thailand .
