Frequently asked questions — debt recovery lawyer in Bangkok

2 questions answered

Often yes — transfer evidence, conversations admitting the debt, or witnesses can suffice. However, Thai law requires written evidence for loans above THB 2,000; without it the suit is barred. We help assess whether the available evidence is sufficient.
Use post-judgment discovery — requests to the Land Department, Department of Land Transport, banks, and AMLO. Assets sometimes sit in relatives' names; transfers can be voided in certain conditions. The 10-year enforcement window gives time to trace.
