Off to Bangkok: looking forward to OffshoreAlert Bangkok 2027

October 23, 2026

Bangkok in March, two days of sharp conversation about where money goes, and a city I love. I'm going to OffshoreAlert Bangkok on 17 and 18 March 2027, and I'm already looking forward to it.

Why I'm going

For years I've been going to OffshoreAlert London, thanks to David Marchant, the journalist who founded OffshoreAlert and has been generous with his help. I wrote a short thank-you to David recently. This November will be my ninth London conference, and Bangkok feels like the natural next step.

It helps that I love Thailand. I visit often, for the food, the people and the calm of the temples, so a conference at the Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, right in the heart of the city, is hard to resist.

Who will be in the room

OffshoreAlert brings together people who rarely share a room anywhere else: fraud investigators, asset recovery experts, insolvency practitioners, litigators, forensic accountants, regulators and law enforcement, due diligence specialists, investors and funders, and investigative journalists. Attendees come from across Asia-Pacific, from Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan to India and Australia, plus visitors from further afield.

The sessions I'm most curious about

A few sessions stand out for me.

Deepfakes and disinformation. This session looks at the fight for truth, trust and money when fake executives, cloned voices and false news stories can be used to move markets or damage a reputation. It asks how to prove what is true quickly enough to protect the money, the case and the reputation. That sits close to my own communications and PR work, where a clear, accurate account matters most when someone is trying to muddy the water.

Thailand's casino-to-crypto pipeline. As someone who loves the country, I want to understand how scam money from the border regions is followed into the wider economy, and where investigators can step in.

China's capital flight. An estimated US$1 trillion left China in 2025, and this session asks where it goes and how to find it. I've written about China and offshore trusts on this site, so this one is high on my list.

Singapore's S$3 billion case and family-office fraud. Two sessions on how polished wealth can hide problems, and how investigators connect the people, companies and assets behind it.

I'm also keen to hear the sessions on open-source investigation and satellite imagery in difficult places, and on the long effort to turn Evergrande freeze orders into real recoveries.

See you there

Two full conference days and two evening receptions mean plenty of time for good conversations. If you're going too, do come and say hello.

Dates, venue and agenda are as published by OffshoreAlert at the time of writing, and agendas can change.

Working with me

I help people in investigations, finance and law put a complex or sensitive story across clearly and accurately, to investors, partners or the media. If that's what you need, have a look at how I work and get in touch.
