About
Boots on the Ground
Experienced field researchers
We started from humble beginnings, with a team of two handling every task of the market research process, from collecting information in the field to detailed excel analysis of the data we collected. Now, each member of our team still trains in all essential aspects of our market research, but team members are specialized as managers, field researchers, analysts, and data engineers. This specialization enables us each to do our jobs better. The data we collect now is far more comprehensive than our first projects, and the analysis is deeper and more insightful. We are proud of how far we have come, but every step of the way was due to the fantastic, hard-working team that you see before you. They truly embody the spirit of Khayan.
Meet Our Team
Our research team is experienced in all areas of our work but especially survey design, administration, and analysis. They aren’t afraid to get out into the field to collect primary research first-hand. Their skills in on-the-ground data collection are what makes our business special. Come meet them and see why!
Nick Bernhardt
Nick has lived in Thailand since 2012, gaining experience throughout the region. His experiences at Citibank and Satin Textiles, a Thai textiles manufacturer with a global customer base, has given him insight into both the financial and operational aspects of business. Seeing a need for institutional investors to collect more data from the field, he started Khayan Consultants in 2018. He is Treasurer of the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand and can be found there on Tuesdays hosting the weekly games night.
Hailing from the US, he speaks English, Thai, and French. He has honed his language skills and gained a better understanding of life in rural SEA through his hobbies of climbing and motorcycles. He is naturally curious and always looking to learn more about this beautiful region.

What our team thinks about the work we do…
I am one of the people who is out there, actually collecting data and interviewing. I never know who I am going to meet and what story they are going to tell. It’s exciting!
The beautiful thing about this line of work is we are always learning. Whether it’s a new company or an industry we have not studied before, we always walk away with insights that are gained from getting into the trenches and talking to people who really use a product or service, or work in the production of it.
One of my favorite quotes is “Without data, you are just another person with an opinion.” and especially in our business, it is true!
