International Trade Law in Chanthaburi — About us

Chanthaburi runs two economies that generate their own disputes: a gem and jewellery market where high-value trades still rest on trust more than paperwork, and export orchards — durian above all — where Chinese packing houses and exporters buy at the grove. What follows is payment default, deposits, quality and grading disputes, and Cambodian border trade.

A trade done on trust is not an unenforceable trade — it means the case has to be built from the money trail, delivery records, and surrounding witnesses in place of the contract that does not exist. We have run this class of case for traders continuously. The team works in Thai, English, and Chinese, runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travels to appear at the Chanthaburi Provincial Court.
