Thailand's private eye lifts curtain on cheating spouses

BANGKOK - With her James Bond-inspired gadgets including spy cameras and tapping devices, Amnuaiporn Maneewan specializes in digging up evidence to expose cheating spouses for a law firm in Bangkok.

The 42-year-old has become a master at tailing the unfaithful, catching them in compromising situations with the use of tiny cameras and recording equipment hidden in pens, car keys, buttonholes and even calculators.

Her work over the last 15 years has made her a minor celebrity in Thailand, where having a mia noi or "little wife" on the side of a marriage is seen almost as a right by some.
