Intellectual Property Law in Krabi — About us

Krabi is an international tourism province — hotels, resorts, and service businesses with substantial foreign investment and residency — while inland it remains large-scale palm and rubber. The recurring issues are beachfront land and contested title documents, hotel and service-business licensing, foreign holding structures, hospitality labour cases, and plantation disputes.

A good deal of southern beachfront land has a title history that must be traced back before purchase or investment, because the problem surfaces at the construction-permit or transfer stage. We trace the history first, every time. 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 Krabi Provincial Court.
