Updated October 2014

List of Attorneys

In an effort better to serve Americans in Thailand, the U.S. Embassy has compiled the following list of

Thai law firms willing to assist English-speakers with a wide variety of legal concerns. Each firm listed below has

English-speaking attorneys on staff and in many cases Bangkok-based firms are able to conduct correspondence in

English. Firms outside of the capital may not be able to offer a wide range of English services. It may be necessary

for Americans to hire their own translator.

Firms are separated by location, with the largest number of firms located in Bangkok. This list contains

contact information for attorneys in the Central and Southern regions of Thailand only. Those interested in

attorneys practicing in Northern Thailand should contact the Consulate General in Chiang Mai by phone at (66) (53) 107-700. Inquiries may also be faxed to (66) (53) 252-633. The Consulate General is located at 387 Vidhayanond

Road.

Please note: the American Embassy cannot guarantee the professional ability or integrity of these

firms.
