Intellectual Property Law in Mae Hong Son — About us

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.
