Bankruptcy & Business Rehabilitation Lawyer in Mae Hong Son

Bankruptcy and business rehabilitation fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Central Bankruptcy Court, governed by the Bankruptcy Act B.E. 2483 (as amended). The key distinction: bankruptcy collects and distributes an insolvent debtor's assets among creditors, while rehabilitation lets a still-viable business restructure its debts and keep trading under a court-approved plan. Our team acts for both creditors (claims and debt proof) and debtors (rehabilitation petitions, plan drafting, defence), weighing the option that best protects the client before any filing.

About our team in Mae Hong Son

Mae Hong Son has one of the longest borders with Myanmar, is largely mountain and forest, and depends on tourism and highland agriculture. The legal issues that genuinely arise here differ sharply from other provinces: land and cultivation rights inside forest zones, civil status and nationality, migrant labour, and licensing for tourism and accommodation businesses.

Work of this kind requires land law, administrative law, and the working practice of the local authorities to be understood together. We give a straight assessment at the outset of which matters have a route forward and which do not, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Mae Hong Son Provincial Court as scheduled.

Frequently asked questions — bankruptcy lawyer in Mae Hong Son

1 questions answered

The main difference is the statutory minimum debt threshold for filing, which is not the same for individual and corporate debtors. The strategy differs too — a viable business is usually better served by rehabilitation than liquidation, while for individuals the focus is proving genuine insolvency. We check whether the filing conditions are met and pick the most cost-effective route, including checking the current statutory minimum debt threshold for your situation.
